    I can’t believe 3 in 10 want him to overthrow the constitution. We’re a deeply unserious nation.

    I bet every one of the three in ten have at some point called themselves a constitutionalist.

      I saw a Youtube comment the other day calling for Trump to throw away the constitution, declare himself king and execute judges who don’t enact his will. It had likes.

      I mean… it’s probably Russian bots? Right?

        Yes, it is 100% Russian bot glazing, but that is how propaganda works, some people see all tge bot activity and jump on board.

        Biggest Russian troll farm employs over 60,000 people to run tens of accounts at a time.

    The fact that it isn’t 10/10 people disgusts me.

      3 of 10? Sounds like a majority by Trumpy/Republican math.

    22/27 says he can’t.

    But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.

    Or as Trumps puts it:

    “Everyone wants me to. They all say what a great idea it would be. They say ‘sir…sir…we need you.’ Tears streaming down their faces, 'sir please…only you have the ability to make us great again. Tremendous ability, they say. Probably the most tremendous ever if I’m being honest.”

    This should be 10 out of 10 people. I’m not even American and I know more about American and their constitution than most Americans it seems.

    That fat orange Russian muppet should be in jail, not president.

      The constitution was ment to be rewritten and adjusted, because times are changing. Even these slave keeping cunts knew that. So i don’t think pointing at the constitution should mean too much. But it is hilarious that just suggesting that the 2nd amendment could maybe not be the best idea, makes the same people frothing out of their pie holes who also want to overthrow the government and keep the fattest most incompetent person in charge.

    That’s nice but rest assured we will not be consulted when they inevitably decide to further their mockery of the constitution and the very idea of patriotism.

    There’s no need for a third term if the second term goes forever and never ends.

    Just sayin’…
