The next move will be to oust Biden via the 25th or medical emergency, thus making Kamala the incumbent which is historically more advantageous.
Watch for it.
Yep. It will make her the first Woman President, the first woman of African/Jamaican/Asian descent.
PLUS She'll have the Golden Ticket that SCOTUS gave POTUS, a free pass for all kinds 'crimin and 'corruptin! ....That Biden said he would never use.

Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine!…In four years, you don’t have to vote again.

Those were Trump's words at a Turning Point event last night.
From a man that has promised he'll be a dictator on Day One and has parroted that language of the authoritarian roadmap that is Project 2025, I'd say the implications are quite clear.
Nobody has to vote now, are you saying the Democrats will force voting 🤷♂️
Yes, they’ll cast your vote/ballot for you whether you want or whom you may want for or not.

That old man certainly has his way with words!
I guess when you’re rich you can just grab em by the dangling participle.
This is what being propagandized looks like.

If I was wrong about everything and the the country was willing to vote for fascism because my team had screwed everything up so bad, I’d stop making threads because I’d know I am a clown.
Kamala Harris Lands Fifth Polling Win in 24 Hours
A poll released on Friday by The Wall Street Journal found that Harris had all but eliminated Trump's lead, with the vice president trailing the former president by a 49 percent to 47 percent margin in a head-to-head matchup. The poll has a 3.1 percent margin of error.

It's a new breed of troll I tell you!
They're completely possessed by the hatred of Common Sence and Truth. These people hate anything, that doesn't cater to their preconceived false reality.
They can't handle, the Truth.
Trolls is too good of a term.
Useful tool is more apt, IMO
Blast out lies and propaganda on command.
Perhaps NPC is more appropriate?
I feel it's worth rigorous debate.

At least you're admitting that you're perfectly fine with imposing Christian Nationalism on Americans, whether they like it or not.
Theocratic Christians seek to have the Bible inform national laws and have religious leaders in positions of government; while in America, Christian nationalists view the country's founding documents as "divinely inspired" and supernaturally revealed to Christian men to preference Christianity, and are willing to elect impious heads of state

He had nothing tiki do with it, he just keeps parroting its language, had the architect of the whole thing speak at the RNC, and, oh yeah, picked a running mate that is intimately involved with it.
They know it's a wholly unpopular policy so of course they're going to say they nothing to do with it. Who's going to vote for the guy that says, Yep! My people wrote a guidebook on how to roll out fascism in the US and we're going to implement it day one!"
.....
Trump isn't worried about 2028, he can't run then. Not sure if you grasp this, but he was already president for 4 years, so, just like joe, he's going to be a 4 year president, then "pass the torch" to the next generation. .......
I guess I have to spell it out for you.
In order to understand what Trump has in mind if he gets elected again, you have to first understand what he had in mind the last time. The events of Jan. 6, 2021 were NOT about Trump trying to take over the government that day and declare himself king. That would not have worked. Even if Trump had personally led his demonstrators to the Capitol that day (which. he wanted to do) and declared himself the new POTUS, that would not have worked. An outgoing POTUS has no authority to pick the new one.
The plan was to use the 20th amendment to put him back in power. Here's the relevant text of the 20th:
"If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President,.... a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term.... then ......the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified."
The plan was to delay the counting of the votes by the Joint Session until after Jan. 20, 2021, at which time the House gets to pick whoever they want to be the new POTUS. The new POTUS doesn't have to have been one of the nominated candidates. The main reason this plan didn't work is because the VP, Mike Pence, didn't go along with it and because the Joint Session was able to complete the counting later that evening.
Now project this forward to 2028. Trump has served 4 years of his second term, so his name cannot appear on the ballot, as you say. But the VP is JD Vance, Trump's hand picked mini-me who will do exactly what Trump commands him to do. As the guy who is supposed to count the votes, all he has to do is find a way to delay beyond Jan. 20, 2029 and the House gets to select Trump again. They can do this every 4 years until either Trump dies, or the House is no longer Republican.
In late October, 2020 (before the election), Steve Bannon gave an interview that ended up getting leaked, in which he stated flat out that Trump's plan was to never have to face the electorate again. This is what he meant.
Trump is telling everyone with his most recent comment that if he is elected again, he will make another grab for the brass ring of President for Life.
Of course, it could be a short life.

For a party that tried to over turn the 2016 elections, and then tried to mount a soft coup by fabricating evidence that the current president was a trader, how do they feel they hold the corner on this "dictator" redirect? The Democrat party must think the rest of us have short memories.
As for Trump; it sounds like someone told him in order for him to win he will need to get those who do not normally vote to come out and vote this time.
Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine!…In four years, you don’t have to vote again.
