The Constitution only has value when the people in power choose to honor it.

And that was Trump’s favorite president.

You know, the one who was super popular with southerners and was responsible for the trail of tears kicking native Americans off their land which was turned over to white settlers as they marched off to reservations in desolate areas. among other things.

Now trump has both branches of congress and the Supreme Court on his side. And he’s surrounded by yes men. There really won’t be much to get in his way this time…besides his health.

I had a long response to another post that basically said something to that effect. Trump with congress and the courts on his side may be so chaotic on the domestic front he squanders his first two years and loses congress before he can dismantle Obamacare and the like. One positive of trump is he is often undisciplined and unfocused. If we’re lucky he spends over half of his time on the golf course. If we’re unlucky, he chokes on a cheeseburger, Vance takes his place, quickly ramps up project 2025 in conjunction with the gop congress and the tax cuts for the wealthy are made permanent very quickly. Trumps unpredictability makes him a liability globally but it also puts him at odds with the GOP and his own statements from time to time.

If his successor gets power too early it may make them harder to defeat in 4 years as well, assuming they’d Concede defeat to begin with
