    Yea, I’m no doomer. But, I read a lot of history. Trump getting inaugurated and Elon throwing a seig heil twice solidified my belief that there will be no 2028 presidential election.

    Trump will manufacture a “Reichstag Fire” moment which will be used to blame “antifa”, “leftists”, “trans”, “immigrants”, etc. and then martial law will be implemented. However, this will only come after Trump feels satisfied that the military has been purged of any high ranking officials that may dissent.

    Once martial law is enforced, they will continue to purge anti-Trump dissenters and any marginalized groups.

    Trump could very well pull all of this off by 2026 midterms let alone 3 years from now before the next presidential election.

        There’s still JD Vance. Trump will be the scapegoat for all of the dirty work that was done to usher in a fascist regime. Vance will be presented as the calmer and more focused dictator.

          I don’t know that Vance has that stupid charisma Trump has that his base fucking gargles on. I also don’t think others would be as scared to act against him as they are the current dictator. This is probably just wishful thinking on top of wishful thinking though.
