        It’s admittedly a very long shot, but just the thought that the USA might be about to find out the answer to the question “Can a president be elected, then lose an election, then plot to overturn the results of that election, then fail, then be legitimately re-elected once again, then go to prison for trying to overturn the previous election, and then pardon themselves from within prison?” is utterly wild to me.

        Trump will go away in at most 4 years even IF he get’s elected. This law will exist forever and will only be enforced against undesirables.

          Oh, you know he’ll try to find a way to be president for life. And half the media will support it.

            Cool. A Trump dictatorship would be just the shot-in-the-arm that our gerontocracy needs when he dies in 2026.
