If there is a Trump with brains so to speak I could see a huge chance of a dictatorship.
Basically if Trump stole the 2020 election then what would have stopped him from staying in after 2024.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

100% agree with this. History is always capable of repeating itself.
Spot on. It’s kinda what we deserved.
He's pathetic and yet he has this massive (cult) following.
That means he won't run again IMO. He's just saying it to keep the goose laying golden eggs. If he was really running again, surely he would say so.
Any chance the electoral college is axed during the Biden presidency?
If I were a democrat that would be my primary concern right now. Once the electoral college is gone, the GOP will probably never win an election again with demographics also working against them or am I wrong?
Shortly after the recent election, even some Republicans called for it. As a democrat I would've jumped that train in no time. It would maybe need to be done smartly so that Republican voters won't show reactance to it but if successful it would be the KO for the Republicans as they currently exist.

No.
Americans identified with Trumps incoherent rambling and lack of eloquence.
If he was polite, didn't talk absolute bollocks and knew how to act in public that "one of us" factor would be gone.
Conservatives were calling for it before 2016, after Obama won in 2012 and when fearing Hillary would win because "California and New York."
Why not? Are the hurdles too big? Because as it occurs to me it really wpuld be a no brainer for democrats. They need to equal the playing field regarding gerry mandering, electoral votes, etc.
Interesting. Isn't that sewing the branch on which they sit? I recently read that the GOP won only one popular vote in the last 32 years or so.
Abolishing the actual college requires amending the constitution. If you don't know why that is impossible in the current status quo, I'd suggest you read up on the US civics.
There have been other proposals for effectively eliminating the EC, namely states awarding their EC votes to the winner of the US popular vote, and if the swing states start doing that it would be enough. However, chances for that are only slightly higher than full constitutional amendment, but still comfortably near zero.
We're not talking about the brightest collective bunch. It is a garbage system though. I argued such in 2016 when Georgia went to Trump after I cast my vote for Clinton. Both sides and the media harp on "your vote matters" and "every eligible citizen should vote, it's your right and duty as an American". But the reality is my vote only matters if the candidate I selected wins that particular state. It should be a national election across the board, i.e. popular vote. GOP will never agree to this as they know the popular vote will favor the DNC candidate unless they're willing to change ala Dems in the 40s to 60s. I also think you'd have Dems citing tradition and blah blah Constitution blah blah.

Insert you don't say meme of choice. Hence why those in political office need to be held accountable for continuing such bullshit.

doesn't look very "leaked" does it
Nope, but the smokey room and film noir lighting would have made it to obvious.
Hung out to be lynched by a baying mob, Pence still licks the boots of Trump and struts his conservative feathers.

God Wrecked America
--Watching the collective soul-selling of my fellow Christians here in America over the past five years has been something that has grieved me more than I can measure or accurately describe. It’s been particularly disheartening to watch ancient religious history repeating, and worse—to realize that nearly every disfiguring ugliness here in America: from the violent parade of white nationalism to the defiant anti-mask pandemic-deniers to the propagators of an abject election fraud lie to the suppressors of the voices and votes of people of color—is coming from professed Christians.--
-- As they both literally and figuratively pledge their undying adoration to some golden-veneered, bastardized counterfeit idol of their whiteness, I’m left to wonder what I’m to do now: --

First step in starting the Trump Party?
How are they supposed to refer to him? "DT" ?
Newsmax TV DT, really disappointing tonight...
President Formerly Known As Trump aka PFKAT
Just call him The Loser.
So they lick his arse all last week and repays them by threatening legal proceedings
Maybe this is how Trump will raise money from donations. Sue the party then fatten his legal fund.

Nice to see nothing has changed.

Wait. Someone think they can just propose to change the ammendment to suit DNC when they with all their majority cant even agree on a stimulus paycheck?
I dont even think this would pass DNC internal voting let alone including GOP
The second proposal is up to individual state legislatures, not DNC. But yeah, it is of course unlikely.
States representing 196 electoral votes have already agreed to elect the popular vote winner, though the agreement doesn't go into effect until they have 50%+1 of the electoral votes (at which point the rest are irrelevant). Which, obviously, might not ever happen. But it's not impossible, and it might completely circumvent Congress.

I've seen a couple of other like that lately that I totally assumed were parodies at first, but seem to actually be real.
He made so many dumb one it stopped being funny. That tweet would be enough to get my president impeached on the spot.
Beautiful vacinne shot?
That’s the tweet of a former president.
It's absolutely bonkers. Like, was he president of all other countries currently rolling out vaccines as well?
