Perhaps. I think it is much more likely that Thiel & Musk attempt to wait Trump's death out and then install Vance, which will ultimately be the crescendo that causes large scale civil unrest because everybody fucking hates him.
"Every accusation is an admission" and whatnot...
To be clear, I agree with you. I was being hyperbolic about the "rule forever" part because nothing last forever.
However, I think they are drunk enough on their own power to believe they can outlast all of us, and it remains to be seen, in the short term, whether they are right...
The strategy is really simple, and I don't know why it isn't obvious to everyone. The Republican party will simply refuse to run a candidate in 2028. They will claim that the country is under hostile occupation by Marxists who are attempting to destroy the United States from within and Trump will just refuse to leave office after the mid-terms (if we even make it that far before he declares war & martial law).
They don't need to cancel, manipulate, or legally challenge anything. At that point, it doesn't fucking matter what happens with the election because there is no legal mechanism to enforce the removal of the regime. They are going to dare the courts, the police, and the military to try and forcibly remove them, which we all know will not happen. Then just rule by fiat forever.
The End.

They don't need to cancel anything. What will happen is they will refuse to leave unless they are removed by force.

I have no sympathy for any of them, and neither should anyone else. The choices they have made will result in the suffering of millions. Whatever fate they ultimately meet will proportionally be infinitely merciful by comparison. They do not get some special dispensation for being naive.
It is possible to be both immature and abjectly evil. That is, most likely why Musk picked these young men. They have the hallmarks of sociopathic tendencies with the inexperience to be led into a fucking minefield. Here is hoping they trigger some explosions that don't take a billion of us with them.
They will have removed no fault divorce across a number of Republican states within the next four years, and none of those states will be investigating rape allegations inside a legal marriage.
What's up 👋
I think I speak for everyone when I say I definitely hope to see you post more in the future 💣💢💥
Saw you were back, but hadn't had a chance to comment because I've been super busy.
Thought I'd stop by to say I love this picture, and thank you for being a bright spot in an otherwise dark & uncertain world right now.
Keep being awesome 🍓 you're the unofficial 👸 of Lemmy as far as I'm concerned 🙏
They aren't that competent.
Dog Walk:
(verb)
When you’re beating someone’s ass and you’re dragging them as if you were walking a dog.
“Ima dog walk yo ass if you keep talkin shit!”
“He got dog walked in that ~~fight~~ DEBATE last night.”
Life imitates art, and the truth is usually stranger than fiction...
