The neat part is that domestic support may no longer be relevant to his remaining in power.

It literally isn't. He's a second term president. He doesn't need to be popular.

I’m worried he’ll make up some amendment bullshit to stay in power past his term. Right now his popularity only affects midterms.

Or continue to outright ignore the constitution?

Could have just played golf for four years and stayed out of jail, Donnie.

That was never in the cards for an 80 year old malignant narcissist.

Guy and his fans, and wealthy supporters made America into a joke.

It's past the point of looking like a joke... It's to the point of "should we leave and support a new life that goes against american culture?"

We've been shown Americans are NOT who they thought they were. There is no integrity. They are just consumers and slaves to their wealthy masters. And this isn't simply a right issue... It's an American culture issue psychologically marketed politically as a right issue. We've been running in place for decades being offered false promises and made pacified by shitty consumer culture that detaches us from honest humanity.

Detox. Step back, and regain your humanity. It's like all the politics, left and right, are a patriotic distraction from the fact our American culture is fucked. And that's the only thing they have left to own us... The participation and manipulation of our "patriotism." It's really all for their business and this is not a democracy. We are free range slaves working for products and entertainment that give us a dopamine fix like a hit of crack. They really dont add to, or help, us cultivate our genuine authentic humanity.

Not quickly enough.

His die-on-the-cross base is somewhere between 35 and 40 percent. Which shouldn't be enough to keep him in power, but our so-called "leftist" democrats have been following the Rs to the right in greedy search of their own power, instead of standing with their base.

We all deserve to burn for allowing this to happen. We let ourselves down.
