I like your optimism that Democrats will ever get a chance to have this power again. Trump is here to stay. Even if he dies this term, you have Vance to carry the torch. And don't worry doesn't matter how unpopular he is the election will be rigged in his favor anyway. They also find that when they break from the constitution there no consequences. So they will just completely ignore the two term rule. After all what anybody going do about it? Nothing.

100% correct here sadly. Most people won't see this truth until after the next "Election" is decided. Fully rigged and even then there will be ICE at every voting place. It'll just get even more Black Mirror 1984 after that.

I completely agree, unfortunately.

The Supreme Court has made it clear they won't do anything to reign in the power of the presidency and Congress won't either.

I never gave a timeline for it happening.
