It’s the typical narcissistic sociopath trial balloon method, and I agree the news is (intentionally or not) complicit. You test boundaries constantly, break the ones that are not strong enough to resist, and wear down the others by normalizing it.
First others say it, then joking about it, then saying earnestly he’d like it, next is “exploring options.” By 2027, he’ll be normalizing actively campaigning, and by 2028 he’ll be on every GOP- and GOP-controlled purple-state ballot, with expedited Supreme Court shadow docket decisions pending to force it on the rest of the states.
Why the bastard keeps pushing the envelope almost everyday since January. That I stopped speculating whatever the fuck he’ll do next because his goddamn shit partners are looking for ideas for which to oppress more.
I say only half-jokingly: The best argument I’ve seen for a deity is that the last few years defy any explanation except that such a being exists and feels we deserve to be punished.
If that’s the case, he’s going to survive for quite some time.
I also say half jokingly: You know, it’s said the Anti-Christ was supposed to survive a wound to the head. Does a scary little booboo on the ear count? Lol
J/k, if the end-times-prophecy theory on Revelation is correct, the Anti-Christ would be scary because he’s competent. That rules out this guy immediately.
He was very upfront and plain about it: Trump will run for a 3rd term, he will win the election. This needs to be done because America is “under attack”. And if it is prevented, it is subversion of the Will of the People.
This is fucking stupid. Just try to get an amendment passed allowing this if you’re so sure. If you can convince 2/3 of each chamber and 3/4 of the states, maybe it’s the will of the people.
Joking or not, the news perpetuates his rhetoric by publishing it.

Hopefully he’ll be long dead by then, but his existence is proof of a benevolent creator that seemingly won’t let that happen.

“Now I’m not saying that I think this is true. But would any of you be surprised to learn that he’s got a genie?”
The Economist interviewed Steve Bannon last week
He was very upfront and plain about it: Trump will run for a 3rd term, he will win the election. This needs to be done because America is “under attack”. And if it is prevented, it is subversion of the Will of the People.
Alarm bell ringing turned up to 11

Good fucking luck with that tho.
If you think their illegal implementation of policy is contingent on ‘the will of the people’, you’re ‘fucking stupid’.
I don’t think that.
That’s what I’m saying.
They won’t do that. They’ll just ram a third term down our throats like everything else.
Yeah, but I’m pretty sure Steve Bannon has fallen out of favor, and what he says doesn’t have any weight.
In this case, I’m sure he’s right that Trump is going to try for a third term, but not because Steve Bannon is pushing for it.
