What unlimited terms? It seems like they can kill whoever they want whenever they want. And I don't think there are enough of them to fight a civil war.




I mean unlimited presidential terms without having anything like elections to get in the way.

Is there any mechanism already where a war or active civil unrest causes a delay in elections in America? I've read that America has no such provision in our election laws to delay/cancel an election like that.

Do you think it's necessary?

The allowing of cancelling or delaying elections due to war or civil unrest? No.

An extant mechanism. You asked if there's a mechanism. Do you think they need one?

The command structures are coopted at this point. It might be enough to hold on to power when direct confrontation happens. Things happening in the US now are insane and the most insane part to me is how clear that this is the direction the Trump train was taking it. And people would just not stop going down this road.

Welcome to the new world. It will suck for a long time from now on.
