First is the obvious saying that there’s nothing stopping him from running for a 3rd term, and once again using Jim Crow era vote suppression and other slimy tricks to win again.

The second option is to just declare that presidency is a for-life position. He can do that, after all.

And he’s making that last part perfectly clear. He is above the law. There are no consequences for him breaking the law, and nothing stopping him from doing whatever he wants. The people who could are so polite that if words won’t stop him, they say more words at him. That’ll do it!

Appeasement has worked in the past right? /s

The 22nd Amendment does. And it would take 38 states to vote to change that.

Isn’t there something about insurrectionists not being allowed to be president?

We’re about to allow an insurrectionist to be president.

Pretty sure no silly little written amendment on a piece of parchment will stop him. They sure haven’t before. Those rules only apply when HE wants them to.

I’m not aware of any such thing. In fact, I’d say that makes you more qualified.

I also think it’s bullshit to call Jan 6th an insurrection. I want a guillotine on the Capitol steps and actually armed people going against the police. Not for the reasons they did, just in general.
