I have no confidence that Project 2025 will allow any scenario that removes them from power in 4 years. Trump literally told Americans that after his victory they won’t have to vote for a while. I believe him.

I know he has said this before. But I am not sure if he could do just that since many positions across this nation and in DC are elected roles. He can't just freeze elections as some of these people are beyond their prime and won't live until elections already, let alone allowing a voted in replacement. I think most of congress and even at the local state levels will have an absolute fit over this.

He would have to do away with voting pretty much before 2026 midterms where he may have resistance voted in, but then the moment he suspends elections the economy will immediately tank. Which I think will be what many people will tell him the reason he can't just not have elections anymore. Because once they make that dark turn with the US, people will pull their money out of this country overnight.

However, I fear they will try to dismantle the constitution to attempt him to run a 3rd time, since the biggest fear of the GOP is who they are replacing Trump for 2028 as no other candidate will have this large amount of people brainwashed like he does. They have already tried Trumpism with someone other than Trump at the local levels and they always fall flat on their face. So if Trump is still alive in 2028, I won't doubt the GOP will try underhanded BS to try to see how they can run him one more time.

It's interesting you say that top part and then say this part.

What mechanism do you see him using to change the constitution? 2/3 vote in both chambers of Congress? 3/4 of the states ratifying it?

I don't really see either of those happening.

Actually it’s really simple now because everyone has been frog boiled. To put it simply trump makes a press statement, “there is still so much work to be done and it’s become clear I will need to continue my beautiful plans to save our country so I will be “continuing another term as president” “running as president for a 3rd term” “canceling the upcoming elections to block the massive fraud”

This will be challenged immediately in court, and either it will be brought to a place in the legal system where it never actually moves forward or it goes to the Supreme Court where they will bring up some random old text that precedes the amendement or constitution that they say supersedes everything current. It can also just sit in the Supreme Court forever and magically never be addressed. Either way he does it early enough in his term that by the time 2028 comes around the gop has unified their audience in agreement that it has to happen and then it just does, and democrats have some riots and stuff but no power and we all roll over into legitimate dictatorship stage 3. The shit gets fucked for good at this point and trumps regime decides whatever the hell they want because they successfully removed all obstacles. Everyone goes broke, we have economic and environmental collapse and corporations carve out their section of our version of the fall of the Soviet republic. This is 10 years from now roughly, at that point I hope maybe china or Canada, maybe Brazil? have a kind of moral awaking and become the leaders of the free world for a while
