And things will fall apart, right?

He was also almost certainly an Israeli intelligence asset. I can't prove it, but there's a ton of evidence for anyone who wants to look into it. I'm surprised that this is not more widely known.
Fair play. I don't blame anyone for being spooked. Americans as a group can be very scary.
Want to make a bet? I jest, obviously, since neither you nor I will be around to see how this all plays out in the end, but I am serious in my assertion that regardless of what lies ahead, humanity will not become extinct on the basis of climate change alone. That's the worst sort of alarmist defeatism. You've basically given up ahead of time, before the real struggle has even begun.
You do you, but I am not done fighting and am not about to admit defeat and retire into self-fulfilling capitulation. I don't want to accuse you of cowardice, but in some ways that's kind of what I see.
You obviously don't understand basic game theory.
Ok, great, thanks for pointing out the obvious. Unfortunately, complaining about it doesn't make it any less true. This is a triage situation; we have to save our democracy first, and only then can we worry about fixing it.
Yeah we should all totally give up any hope and stop having kids.
What we really need are Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
It will go to the SCOTUS first and if they overturn the decision then it's back to square one. Even if they don't overturn the decision, it also still depends on enough swing states also barring Trump from running, since Colorado is a blue state that he was never going to win anyway.
What we really want are states like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania to bar him from running. Then he really would be fucked.
There are still some pro-Ukraine Republicans, especially in the Senate. They are nowhere near the majority however, but if enough of them decide to do the right thing (not likely, I realize) and vote with the Dems, a deal can still be made. Not going to happen until late January or February though.
They are unreachable. Ignore them. It's the few remaining honest-to-god swing voters that we need to reach and convince.
The question you are trying to get at is whether or not section 3 is self-executing. The answer is that it's not a settled matter.
The consensus right now, as far as I can tell based on my media consumption, is that the SCOTUS will overturn the Colorado decision. The real question is how they will decide to do so.
