    I really want to give him the entirely unwarranted benefit of the doubt that he’s saying it won’t matter in 4 years bc he won’t be running (making the assumption he’ll win this time and reach his term limit) but having watched the video I dunno, that “we’ll have it fixed by then” sounds reeeeaaally ominous.

        When did giving trump the benefit of the doubt ever work?

        It wasn’t even a dog whistle, it was a fog horn. There’s not much room for interpretion.

        Mr dictator on day one obviously wants to stay a dictator.

        He literally tried to fix the last election by seeking out individuals to form slates of imaginary electors in states he didn’t win, telling his VP to discard enough votes to make him the victor, launching frivolous lawsuits seeking to have legit votes thrown out, seeking to influence local election officials in urban districts to fail to certify their districts votes and ultimately when none of that worked by sending a mob to stop the counting of the vote.

        If I shot you in the head and as you were recovering in the hospital went on tv and said went on tv and said I’d take you down next time nobody would give me the benefit of the doubt and propose I meant on the basketball court. It’s completely and totally crazy to propose he meant anything but what he clearly said.
