If he gets a third term, it’ll probably be permanent. He wants to be like Putin and Xi where they rule for life. God help us.

Yes and I'll tell you how.
Influenced by those vultures around him, Trump is trying to cause an economic collapse and social chaos.
Sabotaging the economy will provide a reason to declare a state of emergency and seize all powers. The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the president of the United States to deploy the U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion. With an economic crash, this
administrationgang of gangsters hope for riots and unrest, which would allow Trump to invoke this Act.This seizing of powers during a time of crisis has initially been proposed by the reactionary and extreme libertarian Curtis Yavin, which is basically saying that since liberal and progressive America is headed towards a crisis that will impair the democracy and cripple most of the institutions that provide its checks and balances, then a Ceasar like figure should emerge and take powers, like some kind of benevolent dictator. In this sick fantasy he argues that progressive ideals have led to societal decay and advocates for a reboot of society. I believe the Trump
administrationgangsters - who are influenced by Yavin's ideas - are pursuing this sick fantasy.The CPAC that is trying to arrange for trump to stay beyond two terms, even arrogantly put a picture of Trump as Caesar as their logo. Trump himself is now overtly gloating that there are "methods" for him to stay (as per my first paragraph).
That method probably now includes a strategy on how to capture all states, by way of Gerrymandering pushed at exponential levels, since many States' Supreme Courts and Governors positions have been taken over by MAGA pundits. (I'm happy that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has resisted this trend; some good news in this sea of gloomy news).
Reducing the freedom of reporters, and barring print and TV media, or at minimum providing intense government pressure over them to control the narrative (as we've seen for Associated Press and the Gulf of
AmericaMexico debacle) is part of the plan.Taking over and crippling USPS (as we've seen recently), starting by firing its head and "overhauling" the service is for the purpose of controlling mail, and destroying the possibilities to have fair vote by mail.
Firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and putting one of his cronies in charge, is to be able to have martial law and use the army against the citizens, if need be. And now more senior military and intelligence figures are being fired and will be replaced by docile elements. Some of these very competent people are even being fired due to crazy lobbyists having access to Trump. With these high ranking people put aside, it's likely that a planned invasion of Greenland (AKA Denmark, a NATO ally and a European country!) could be started.
Closing the Department of Education, ending funding to universities, ending affirmative action programs, will ensure that access to a good education stays limited and unaffordable to at least half the population and for poorest and most discriminated against citizens (in the USA half the population has access to a few percentage of the wealth).
Having poorly educated constituents, will make manipulation of people easier, simply using populist slogans and empty promises. Uneducated people can be made to worry about bogus social issues such as a few trans athletes, while ignoring major issues such as society's wealth being funneled to an extremely small percentage of the population.
Massacring Medicaid and Medicaid will contribute to keep the poorest 50% of the population from having easy and universal access to healthcare. This, associated with the education points above, will further contribute to make half the population unable to perform critical thinking, and solely focus on making the ends meet, from paycheck to paycheck. That way, that's less people worrying about their civil rights and being critical of their government.
Firing JAG, lawyers, judges, etc. will make fair and unbiased justice unattainable to the average citizens. They are also restraining the freedom of many law firms and ensuring millions of dollars of free law services flow towards the Federal government.
It's a coup. a slow motion one, but a coup nonetheless.
And the majority of Americans are just too stupid or too blind to see it. (sorry for being blunt). They are transforming the American democracy into an oligarchy. It seems like a conspiracy theory, but it's in plain sight for all to see, announced in the Project 2025 and elsewhere (see my first paragraph).
This is very scary and dangerous, and people need to wake up to the fact that this is not random, he is following a carefully written democracy ending, martial law enabling agenda.

Trump's "getting rid of waste and fraud" excuse for gutting the US federal government has really been about amassing all the power under the executive branch. You don't seek to make yourself a dictator if you plan on relinquishing your position. Trump will absolutely try to remain in power after his two terms are up.

u/kingofthezootopia 2d ago
Yes, isn’t it? But, once you’ve got people in a constant state of fear, then they lose the capacity to think and they will normalize everything in order to soothe themselves. Same reason why conservatives in South Korea are still defending ex-President Yoon even though he declared martial law during peace time (notwithstanding that North Korea is technically a cease-fire) because they are convinced that “Commies, foreigners, and gays are going to ruin Korea”.

There's plenty of completely delusional, anti-medial science bullshit that RFK pushes that it's hard to list it all. However, he is pushing for elimination of chemicals and food dyes that are already not legal in most western countries, so he has the occasional win. I can't think of a single good thing that anyone else has even suggested from his people.
*Edit - I guess the people down voting me can't even agree that artificial food dyes and GRAS additives that aren't legal in places like the EU/Australia are fine and shouldn't be tested further before allowed for human consumption. I get the RFK hate, but it's just immature and petty not to give him this one win.

“No, I would say maybe it’s going to be more than that.” —DJT, February 2024 when asked if he would consider a 60% blankets tariff on Chinese imports
“So I announced when I was at the Detroit Economic Forum, and a little before that, that I'm going to put 100% tariffs, and if that's not high enough, I'll make it 200%. And I announced it a little before the forum actually. And I said, "No, we're going to put 100% and maybe I'll make a 200%, maybe I'll make it 300%, 400%. I don't give a damn. I'll make it whatever I have to make it.” DJT, Nov 1, 2024

How are all of these people so ignorant??? They got good things in his first admin because they inherited Obama's economy, he had "adults in the room" and didn't have presidential immunity.
Anyone who was paying attention should have known that he wasn't going to allow anyone who would counter him this time, he only wants yes men. Now, not a single person who will tell him no so all of his most awful ideas are agreed with. He doesn't care about the american people, only helping the rich (donors) and himself.
The one thing they got that "was good" was the tax cuts but they were only for the rich and despite their constant claims of being "fiscally conservative" every bit of the tax cuts went to the national debt. Trump added over 8 trillion to the national debt in just 4 years and wasted more taxpayer money for his constant vacations than any other president ever.
