Democracy

Governments can be overthrown using a military coup or by keeping one person in power too long. Putin has been in power for 20 years and Xi has just changed the rules so he can stay in power. This cannot happen in the US unless the constitution is changed and this is not easy but it occurred in 1951 when the president was limited to two 4 year terms. It requires a two/thirds vote of both houses to change the constitution. Democrats claim Trump is a threat to the constitution because he is an authoritarian and with a smile said he would like to be president for life which is probably a dream that many presidents had. They claim his attempt to challenge the election what they call an attempt to overthrow the election is a threat to the constitution. Biden claims that Trump is a threat to the constitution because he wants to take the country back to Jim Crow or what Biden called Jim Eagle. The last part hits home to many liberals as they believe as Hillary Clinton said that Trump supporters are deplorables who are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic. Absent from all this criticism of Trump is a discussion of his policies which included low inflation, secure borders, low crime and energy independence. The way things stand now is that these same liberals would prefer Biden no matter what his condition. If his condition worsens he will have to once again use the press to elect him as he remains out of sight. The real fear of Trump is his goal to drain the swamp and that threatens the status quo.
