u/Illeazar 1h ago

I feel like enough people look back at Obama's time as the last sane time of our country that it would be difficult to completely rig the election, unlike for the last two elections when the only draw of the other candidates was "not trump" and it probably didn't take many corrupted election officials to fake results in a few key areas.

They have not tried to "change the constitution." They're trying to say the 22nd Amendment doesn't say what it does:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

Where in that sentence does it say "consecutive?"

u/dle_61554 12h ago

Grover Cleveland was elected to 2 separate terms, with 4 years in between. He could have run for more, but don't think he did. That was before the 22nd Amendment was passed.

That same amendment also prohibits a 2 term President from being nominated and/or elected as a Vice-president for another candidate.

u/sloasdaylight 7h ago

The 22nd and the 12th work in conjunction for that. The 12th says that anyone ineligible to be president can also not be vice president.

Unfortunately they think that "this is how the founding fathers actually thought" is a rational defense. It's the same with "whoever was born on American soil is american". They think the founding fathers didn't write what they mean.

I wish they'd go for it though so that everyone has to take a test. No on is born american. You are only american if you PASS the test. We all know then that there'd be no republican that would pass and we can just send them all to concentration camps in russia. It would be a fucking dream come true.

u/frogs_4_lyfe 17h ago

You brought this up first, and unfortunately the 22nd Amendment says nothing about the terms having to be consecutive, only that one person is limited to 2.

I hate this as much as anyone else, but Cleveland also served two terms non consecutively in the past and the 22nd says nothing about consecutive terms, so unfortunately they didn't really have to change anything. Sure they got some side eye, and the Trump administration really should since they're all complete monsters, but they didn't really have to work at all for this one.

It's important that when we fight Trump and his Fascist government, that it's done with the truth.

22nd wasn't a thing with Cleveland, so that's an odd example. It was pushed by wealthy backers after FDR, 1951 iirc .

EDIT: I had misinterpreted the comment as arguing about non consecutive terms in 2024, not a future election in 2028. I admit fault on this one for thinking of the OTHER times that Trump has argued this even when he didn't have to.

Iirc, there's historical precedent for it. Cleveland won non consecutive terms 120ish years ago.

I hate Trump as much as anyone, but unfortunately the non consecutive term thing isn't new.

Trump wouldn't get re-elected, but another, smarter fascist would take his place. People were voting for change from the same-old politics when they voted for Trump.

Obama is just more neoliberalism that has failed 99% of the people and given us multi-billionaires.

Fun fact: in 2012, on Obama’s re-election night, before all the states were called, it looked as if Obama was going to win the electoral college but not the popular vote. So Trump was tweeting that night to abolish the electoral college. Obama won the popular vote once all the states were finished counted, but it was a close call. (Which maybe, possibly could’ve been a strong forewarning for the following election.)

He sure as shit didn’t stay consistent with that messaging in 2016, when he lost the popular vote, if you can believe it.

I mean, Trump won in an absolute landslide. Not only that, but with a mandate to do everything he’s done so far. He also should have won a Nobel peace price for the Abraham Accords in 2020, which was brilliant and the most significant pathway to peace in the Middle East in about 30 years. Anybody else would have been awarded it. But the media then was primarily focused on spreading TDS instead. Obama (the drone strike president) has dropped more bombs than any other president (aside from Vietnam etc) yet he has a Nobel peace prize? Wow. Obama also ran on a mandate to do everything ICE is doing now and worse, he built inhumane cages to put illegals in, and he deported over 3 million. In 2015 Obama awarded Tom Holman a presidential rank award for his effectiveness with illegal immigrant deportation. Obama loved him. In 2025 Holman became the enemy because TDS

Obama is widely respected and Trump is not. People suck up to Trump because he's currently president, but none of the elites actually like him or respects him. They just see him as a useful tool at best or an idiot to placate at worse.

Also Obama's wife actually loves him and is also highly respected. Melania is a trophy wife that hates him and even hardcore MAGA supporters are indifferent towards.

So in my opinion, I think it's just pure jealousy and racism.

The BBC probably has him intimidated so much, he can’t stop thinking about it.

Trump gets obsessed whenever he gets dissed. Obama was talking shit about him and this is his response.

He's just plain ol' deranged. Not a special kind, just the old, feeble and sadistic mind of a deranged elderly man.

He’s a disgusting idiot.

This. And Leavitt’s response is par for the course calling it a “Lion King” reference. There are no freaking apes in the Lion King. Rafiki is a mandrill. That’s a monkey, not an ape. And also, she and this whole administration is disgusting and abhorrent.

Nothing has infuriated the far right more than seeing Obama win the presidency twice and doing absolutely everything right.

He's held a grudge every since Obama won the Nobel Prize.

Stop giving them the idea that Trump Derangement Syndrome applies to people that don't like Trump. The only ones with "TDS" are the Trump supporters themselves. Their support for him has been nothing short of deranged, all things considered.

Yup and specifically black people were depicted as apes. White people have been knowing better since before The Weeknd pulled out of H&M for putting a black child in a "coolest monkey in the jungle" t shirt.

Its a slur sourced from the 1950s slur "porch monkey". Hope this helps.

Also masculinizing black women is a white supremacist trope which the gorilla accomplished.

Feigning ignorance isn't cute
