I hate to say it, but I think we’ve crossed the event horizon. We’re already in a Constitutional crisis and the rule of law no longer applies to those who are in power. Trump Republicans have been boiling the frog for 3+ years. Trump is “joking” about a third term (remember when he “joked” about “Russia, if you’re listening…”?), he and McConnell will declare the results of the 2020 election illegitimate and away we go. Their power is consolidated. The American People™ and their wishes no longer matter at all. ---

That’s perfect logic for a 5 year old, and so for Trump as well. He’s probably going to get bigly republican support with it. ---
