If Trump wins the next election, take that as the signal of the point of no return. It happened to Rome, it can happen to America.
He can't run again.
America has 4 years to set things right, it had better make it count.

Voting is the minimum of civic duty, not the maximum.
Regarding civic duty, I would start by “being civil with your fellow citizens”. The irony is not lost on me. Edit: To be clear, my comment is not aimed at you. I mean we’re missing the A in the ABCs of civic duty. It’s each person for themselves.

If you think that can't happen, think about this: the Constitution already prohibited him from running as an insurrectionist. Multiple states found that he committed insurrection and the US Supreme Court forced him on their ballots anyway. The reason: they assert that the amendment isn't self-enforcing, and congress must proactively write a law in order to create enforcement measures for the 14th amendment's prohibition on insurrectionists. They didn't, so he was allowed to run and take office.
That same logical jiu-jitsu the GOP used to successfully violate the 14th amendment could just as easily be used on the 22nd.

> The third presidential term of Franklin D. Roosevelt began on January 20, 1941, when he was once again inaugurated as the 32nd president of the United States, and the fourth term of his presidency ended with his death on April 12, 1945
There's already precedent.

As best I can tell, the simplest way to fight back via legal channels sans unlimited legal budget is to run for office. Like I’m seriously trying to figure out if that’s a sane option for me despite my total disregard and distrust of authority. Also my distinctly aggressive distaste for bullies, traditions or bullshit.

I think this is a foolish belief. > The third presidential term of Franklin D. Roosevelt began on January 20, 1941, when he was once again inaugurated as the 32nd president of the United States, and the fourth term of his presidency ended with his death on April 12, 1945 There's already precedent.
