    The US constitution has amendments canceling amendments, more specifically the 21st repealing the 18th. Legally it is possible to repeal the 22nd, but the votes aren’t there… yet.

    The New Deal was so popular that FDR was elected to four terms. The 22nd amendment was a reaction to that.

      I think you are bold to assume their plan involved repealing vs ignoring.

        Exactly.

        “they can’t do that that’s illegal”

        Who’s gonna stop them? The law ain’t doing Jack FUCKING Shit. If there is no group or individual who is both willing and able to inflict consequences, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES

    The AI image really sends the fucking campiness. It’s hard to imagine that fucking bozo even living to a third term. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t got sniped by atherosclerosis yet.

    Why it’s missing a star? Directly printed from the ai prompt?

    It’s not that difficult to clone a star with modern software…

    Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term

    The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws


    President Donald Trump on Thursday again raised the prospect of serving for an unconstitutional third term, asking a crowd at a White House event whether he should run again and receiving audience chants of “Four more years!”

    The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws — all while his administration has continued pushing the bounds of presidential power.

    Tacky as hell

    At least Nazi Germany hired actual artists and designers to create stunning and awe inspiring designs and artwork using quality materials (and no I am not glorifying those monsters)

    MAGA just go to the local print shop and skim off any premade imagery and use AI to mash it all together on the cheapest poster they can buy.

      You don’t have to glorify their beliefs to admit they were fantastic at propaganda and aesthetics. Birth of a Nation was used in film schools for decades afterward for a reason and that reason wasn’t that film schools were all secretly run by Nazis.

        Can you provide some info about what film you mean? I only see results for the 1915 American film called Birth of a Nation. Which sounds pretty awful, but seems to predate Nazis.

          Sorry, got my racist propaganda films that still show up in film school because they used revolutionary techniques in film making and are thus important pieces of cinematic history mixed up. The Birth of a Nation is the US one, Triumph of the Will is the Nazi one I was thinking of.

    How many people actually want to support this vs just joking about it “to own the libs”.

    Not excusing either option. The joking option is just as bad as long as it looks like actual support. I just wanting to know how much of that support is genuine.

      Let me speak from experience that there is no such thing as an ironic Nazi. Every single “bro, it’s just a joke lol” is followed by a silent “…unless?”

      It’s a joke until it’s not. Same people that hurt your feelings and then say “I was just joking” when called out.

      These people only tell jokes that are of the “punching down” variety. That makes them laugh. Stuff like this is wishful thinking, and it’s always “bro, it was a prank” to dodge ownership of it.

      That’s how the party of personal responsibility works.

      Also makes me suspect that republicans have zero clue who they can run after The Donald. Why else would they even bother trying to mention having the guy in office after 2028? The methods to do that are either a constitutional amendment (they don’t have anywhere near a big enough majority to get one through) or unconstitutional means (scary, but also way more work/trouble than running a competent candidate and winning a normal election). It would be way easier to start grooming the heir apparent if they had any clue who that was.
