What has truly made me stop and take a little bit more note, is what previously would have been considered anathema, a presidential third term in the U.S, is now being spoken as easily as running for a first or second term. This article from Politico, from two months ago, explains how Trump (and Bannon) would go about this.

For myself, this is just astounding and if I was a US Citizen I would be absolutely livid. Not because of this particular amendment being broken. In other countries, having a political leader to run for longer than 8 years is very common, but the Americans have always held their sacred Amendments as untouchable. I would be livid because the frankly unethical Amendment to allow idiots to bear the right to hold semi-automatic weapons as a constitutional right.

The only good thing about breaking this 22nd Amendment would be that the other Amendment would be fair game. But in that world, democracy would have truly been ripped and America would have been plunged into a new Civil War. I’ve not been this interested in what is going on in the news cycle since Covid hit 5 years ago. Make it stop. Please.
