Before Trump won the popular vote, I’d say that would trigger a mass uprising or ignition of a civil war. Now, maybe a few protests and a riot here and there? Honestly, probably not much.
I’ve never been less sanguine about the United States as a nation than I am right now.
As much power as they have, they can’t do that fortunately. So, they’ll need to get creative. Something along the lines of “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” really means twice consecutively, so a third term is good to go. As flippant as I sound about it, it is actually a possibility if Trump survives that long and wants to run again.
Sure, that law isn’t airtight. Really, though, what’s a law but a piece of paper when there’s a SCOTUS decision effectively making POTUS king and Congress unwilling to stop him. At this point, are even so-called airtight laws safe from transgression? I think it’s doubtful.
This is a great analogy
Honestly, I’d say don’t put any stock in it. If he did cheat, it was at the extreme margins where it doesn’t make a difference. The fact of the matter is that Americans are just stupid and/or hateful. As much as I’d love it to be true if only to restore my faith in Americans, I very much doubt there was any significant cheating.
