Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution, Trump wrote in a post on the social network Truth Social and accused Big Tech of working closely with Democrats. Our great Founders did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

Based on TFG's musings what percentage of Republicans would support terminating the Constitution and with it the Bill of Rights and making Trump and his progeny leaders for life? A dictatorship.

(37,683 posts)Those millions of republicans want an authoritarian gov't but they mistakenly think they will be the few thousand elites actually in charge.
Those millions are useful tools for those who will actually be in charge.
One poster called it a 'new social feudalism age'.

Same/same for those who want our country to be Christian run.
When a theocracy takes over America, which church (Christian of course) will be in charge?
Will the others accept their rule?
Many Catholics/Protestants consider the other to be false Christians.
Would they accept Mormons as the rulers?
Westboro Baptist Church?
The new rulers will be political Christians rather than Christians of faith.
We have plenty of people who want to be the Christian Ayatollah of America.

(15,404 posts)It's the combined set of its national laws. There is always the kings, or emperors, orleaders, law.
No matter what it's called, it amounts to the same thing, but can mean very little in practice.
Even if he somehow took power, and abolished the constitution, he would still have laws he could run the country with. They would be punitive, vindictive, and aimed at retribution towards his enemies and genocide of people of color, but their would still be laws.
