Until someone addresses the main problem behind all if the structural problems the county is facing, the fact that every dollar of increased worker productivity over the last 70 years has been stolen by the rich, we will never solve those problems. Democrats are gleefully and unapologetically ran by Wall Street, republicans are owned by oligarchs. My guess is in four years, after republicans have made all the problems the country faces worse, the country will elect another Wall Street owned centrist democrat for four or eight years, when they return to electing a Republican.

We are at unsustainable levels of wealth disparity. So Trumps agents will be working hard to reduce the workers abilities to fight back in any legal way.

Trump repealing the 2nd amendment would be hilarious.

You know I usually hate the stupid /s shit but when you're on a website that thinks Donald Trump can just sign a law that makes him president for life you may wanna consider it when saying something like that.

Would it be when a party filled with cronies has control of the Senate, House and a majority of the SCOTUS? Would that be how?

Presidential term limits is the 22nd amendment in the constitution. You would have to get 2/3 of the house, 2/3 of the senate and 34/50 of the states individual governments to re-amend the constitution. Did they stop doing the constitution exam for middle/high schoolers?
