Of course, that's not possible, so who knows how much he cares anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 child) He definitely intends to still be in office whenever it finally happens. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 4 months ago* I wonder what the bookies would give you on that bet because there's a very good chance he'll be dead before the end of his presidency. permalink fedilink source parent [+] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (2 children) Stop with the doomerism, it's not helping anyone.

And yes, he's likely at least thinking about trying to make some rule changes or pulling some sort of shenanigans to get himself on the ballot anyway. But if we expect that to happen, it makes it all the more likely that he will, and that it'll succeed. Treating his victory as fait accompli just normalizes his abnormal behavior. It's a form of obeying in advance. We have to remain flabbergasted and horrified at his actions so that we can react to them correctly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rambomst@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago Better late than never I guess? permalink fedilink source parent [–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 months ago So far permalink fedilink source parent
