Trump has frequently quipped about defying presidential term limits, including as recently as last month.

      3/10 of our neighbors want a dictatorship.

      Good to know they’ll be outnumbered when we have to shoot them.

    Only 70% of Americans can be bothered to give a fuck about the most basic, non-debatable aspect of our Constitution.

    Yeah, we’re fucked.

      Yeah, the headline should be reversed so as not to bury the lede. A full 30% of Americans want to throw out the constitutional guardrails and basic limitations on power that keep us a republic and not an autocracy. That’s a terrifying figure.

        30% of those interviewed that responded to the poll with usable data.

    There’s no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.

    Just sayin’…

      3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.

        Yup. The non-voters had a choice between boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil and felt “sending a message” was more important.

          Nah most of them just don’t give a shit or know what the hell is going on. As long as they have their Netflix and fast food slop they’re good.

    Or as Trumps puts it:

    “Everyone wants me to. They all say what a great idea it would be. They say ‘sir…sir…we need you.’ Tears streaming down their faces, 'sir please…only you have the ability to make us great again. Tremendous ability, they say. Probably the most tremendous ever if I’m being honest.”

    22/27 says he can’t.

    But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.

    7 in 10 don’t want him to run. That means 3 in 10 do want him to run. There is that 30% of fucking morons who want Trump forever.

      Trump received ~32% votes of eligible voters in the 2024 US General. So that statistic is pretty on the mark

      Insane regardless, but the 3/10 also includes people without an opinion. Depending on how it’s worded, it could even include people who are only OK with it if it’s legal, or something like that, which it isn’t.
