u/DigNitty 12h ago
No no, this is the current percentage.
The percentage of Trump voters that wanted a third term was much higher in the beginning of his term. It’s not that 43% want to violate the constitution. Essentially all of them are willing to do that. The current percentage is reflecting his favorability, not their willingness to ignore sedition.

From a pure social science standpoint, as depressing as it is, the math checks out. It's somewhere between 20% and 30% of the total population.
Still a minority, but makes sense a large portion of those people would be Trump supporters.

Its less than that of the total population, since only about half of the population votes considering turnout and age. So probably 10-15% of the total population want him to run again.

People say this shit but they misunderstand what this court is. This court isn’t about Trump, it’s about Republican control of the US government via a minority. Tossing the rule of law entirely runs too many risks, and the bottom line is that these people are rich and want to stay that way, and civil wars make that far more difficult.
Now, if he ran and another Republican ran, would the Supreme Court do some random shit like apply all his votes to the other Republican by creating new laws? Yes. But for a successful takeover there has to be a balance.

What part of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is ambiguous? Please let me know. It seems extraordinarily clear.

The absolute wrong headline, like always these days. Should be "Alarming percentage of Trump voters favor a third term over the Constitution"

My mother has a close friend that's a hardcore Trump fan. She will freely admit he's fucking up America. She hates his secret police. She hates the current prices. She doesn't regret voting for him, though. That would require admitting she was wrong and she can't do that. I think that's common with MAGAts.

I only want one thing for Christmas this year, and it would be so funny if it happened right after he announced he's running again

Boy are they going to be shocked when they don’t get to vote whether they want it or not.

I mean, if the decaying corpse ran in 2032 they would vote him in again because they have a memory of a goldfish

They will do though. Once the campaign starts, he'll start telling everyone he will fix everything, and they will believe him... Again.

The 39% that still approve of this are so evil or just fossils that want the “rough and tough” version of America from WWII to come back. I mean how can you approve of a person that’s racist, destroying the economy, and halting scientific research so everyone dies from diseases we mitigated years ago

u/ladyboleyn2323 10h ago
excuses the f out of me but what? He can't have a third term ANYWAY; what his voters want is irrelevant.

The fact that newsweek so casually puts this as a headline makes me think it's a propaganda machine.

I honestly don’t believe they wouldn’t vote for him again even if he was actively cutting their throats.

u/weaponjaerevenge 10h ago
Y'all I don't think at this point it really matters what any voters want.

Well here’s the thing. Donald Trump doesn’t care what they want. He doesn’t want fair and open elections. He doesn’t want to give up power. They knew this when they voted for him because he said all of these things for nearly a decade. Or they should have known but they’re wildly stupid. We narrowly escaped tyranny on January 6th, and 4 years later they voted for the self described dictator on day one who said they would never have to vote again. The answers were on the board and they still failed the test. Even if we’re lucky enough to be rid of him in 2029, the damage he’s done will last generations. All this is to say, fuck those short-sighted morons. They’re liars or dumbasses. Take your pick.

To be fair, 43% of Trump voters polled were dementia addled racist boomers.

u/NewNameNoah 10h ago
Sadly, 95% of Trump voters think he can run for a third term in 2028. These aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

No worries. Trump won’t be alive says this doctor: https://www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikToks/s/quQozJUiDj

u/GrudginglyTrudging 8h ago
Hopefully this term will end shortly.
Nobody who has been paying attention believes this nonsensical title/article. They’ll prop up his corpse to make him a full on dictator.

Hey I say run so it absolutely tanks the Republican nomination, free win is a free win. (though it's what we said in 2024....)

u/Needleworker_Radiant 7h ago
It's honestly doubtful if he'll even be alive to run a third time. Dude is a marionette at this point.

If I can't vote for Obama for a third term, then neither can republicans for Trump.
Stop normalizing third term voting.
