        What makes me laugh is the idea that if Trump were declared dictator for life, how long do you think his life would be?

        One, the man weighs 280 lb in his 70s. He does not have long left.

        Two, the best way to become dictator for life is to be announced dictator for life. This second best way is to kill the current dictator for life and take his seat. How long do you think it will take all of the people that follow Trump for money to realize that putting a bullet in his head would get them more money?

      Demographics are trending away from conservatism and since they are almost to the point where they can no longer win elections, they want to install a permanent conservative dictatorship.

        The last was Bush Jr but it was narrow, there were two wars raging, and he was in office already. The last first termer was Bush Sr. That was 36 years ago.

        Even the EC cant hold it much longer. A blue Texas means the odds of a GOP win become in single digit probabilities. Go to Nate Silver’s site and play with the possible maps yourself.

        Of course in an ideal world they would look at this and try to change to match what the population wants.

        Which is why it pisses me off when people go, “Third Party/Not Voting”. Other elections, fine. This election? Dems need to win. Period. They need all three branches of government and enough of a margin to prevent getting Manchin’d. Anything less means there will not be a second chance

        Destroy the GoP first, THEN focus on smacking around the Dems
