started his re-election campaign. Who stops him?
Suppose the Supreme Court decides he can't run because of the 22nd amendment and Trump says "watch me". Again, who's gonna stop him?
Or suppose it's November 2028 and Trump decides we're in a case of emergency so we can't have an election, who's going to enforce the election?
Suppose the blue states go ahead and run their national elections. And suppose the congress even certifies the results, but Trump says he does not recognize the results because he didn't agree to having an election (you know how he just makes it up as he goes along) and so he's not leaving. He forces him to leave?
I cannot share the faith that there is something magical about the constitution such that all political actions can only exist through it. It is nothing but a bunch of old and fancy words on a piece of paper. At the end of the day, he who holds the mightiest military in the world under his command gets to carry the day. If the military is purged enough that the generals are beholden to him, he gets to do whatever the hell he wants to.
