Who wants to cancel the 2020 Presidential Election?

Post by bignflnut »

On Sunday, Donald Trump re-tweeted a post by the arch-reactionary evangelical preacher and prominent Trump confidant Jerry Falwell, Jr. calling for the president to extend his term from the constitutionally mandated four years to six.

Referring to the Democratic Party-led effort to label Trump a Russian collaborator, the tweet read:

“Trump should have 2 yrs added to his 1st term as pay back for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup.”

By re-tweeting this proposal, Trump is, in effect, threatening to cancel the 2020 elections and declare himself above the law. Article II of the US Constitution states that the president “shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years.”

Trump’s action is a direct threat to abrogate the Constitution. Bourgeois politics has degenerated to such a degree that political and legal norms considered fundamental since the American Revolution are now challenged by presidential tweet.

Trump’s Republican backers claim that Trump was only joking. But canceling elections is not something about which presidents joke. The president is the most powerful person in the world and his every word is closely followed in the US and internationally. Politicians, businessmen and decision makers around the world parse even seemingly mundane statements or off-the-cuff remarks for their deeper significance.

Trump’s re-tweet of a prominent, politically active evangelical preacher is not a joke. It is a serious signal sent deliberately to both supporters and opponents, who will understand that Trump is serious and that he is prepared to pursue anticonstitutional methods to stay in power. It is part of an increasingly dictatorial pattern that Trump and his fascist advisers have long planned.

While accepting an award at a ceremony in April along with military leaders, Trump said,

“This is really beautiful. This will find a permanent place, at least for six years, in the Oval Office.”
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee

The left would double, triple their attacks and they wouldn't be legal attacks either. We haven't seen the dirtiest work yet.

This right here. As unbearably fun it has been to watch the left poop their pants since 2016, 2020 will be a s#!t-fest of epic proportions.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

Last time around I watched the election returns on Fox News. I think this time I'll watch it on CNN or something so I can watch the weeping and wailing live.

You're probably right. Not everyone on the left is confident that Trump won't be reelected. Nancy Pelosi made some comments recently that suggested the Congress was going to merely continue to investigate rather than impeach now, and hinted that the actual vote on impeachment could be done at the beginning of his 2nd term. Not sure what good it's going to do them if they don't retake the Senate but maybe she thinks that will happen.
