If anyone hasn't noticed, his job now is to sign things and shill for whoever pays him the most at the moment. He doesn't need votes anymore because he's either unable to run again or will simply refuse to leave or have a hamburger speed things up. He doesn't care.. He just says anything to anyone for his sponsors.
You think he would not get votes again? Mate, many of the people he fires are STILL supporting him.
I didn't say he wouldn't get votes, he doesn't need elections anymore to keep his ass in the chair. It's done, he is in his 2nd term. Americans aren't of any concern to him as long as a line of millionaires and billionaires keep kissing his ring. Nothing he passes will be for anyone, just against stuff his donors don't agree with.
But what about his 3rd term? He's going to need to put the work in to make that happen. Not in gathering many votes granted, but to ensure the election falls in his favour when the time comes.
Thankfully for him, as you say, he has a close symbiotic partnership with the rich, and they along with the government staff he is putting into position (and purging those who aren't loyal to him) are the ones who control the voting process. So, with a little hard work, mostly done by other people, he'll win the next election.
If he bends things enough to break an amendment, why would he even bother with keeping it based on voting?
There will not be an election for his 3rd term. If he's still alive, he will stay without an election and no one will get rid of him.
If JD becomes president, he also will NOT go anywhere at the end of the term. If you think this isn't true... just wait.
It's called a death cult
It's called religion. The cognitive dissonance to ignore reality and evidence; to just "have faith".
The point is that he cannot get votes again due to term limit. If he stays in power, it has to be through some illegal way, in which case they won't bother with votes.
