    Donald Trump is Constitutionally ineligible to be President right now. But here we are. Hopes, prayers, and traditions will not save us from the fucking Nazis.

    Besides, the goal isn’t to cancel elections, it’s to control them. Control who gets to vote and for what.

      Exactly. W won a second term largely due to 9/11, I’d wager. He started off as extremely divisive and polarizing. Most people were at least deeply sus of him, if not considering him entirely illegitimate. The economy starts to implode.

      Fast forward a few months, 9/11 happens, and most of the Murc’s Law Media is falling all over themselves to prostrate before W. People acting like not voting for Republicans is not supporting the troops, or whatever the fuck.

      Without 9/11, I don’t see how that guy would have had a second term.

      I could easily see a repeat here if there was some big terrorist event that they could blame on Iran. The real blame should lie with Pedonald and his maladministration for attacking Iran and doing a shit job on security here, but we have way too many idiots in this country that operate like windsocks.
