1. key in 2020 is the staye legislatures

Dec 2019

these legislatures will be determining the gerrymander for another decade, as well as calling the inevitable constitutional convention and appointing its delegates.

will such a convention preserve presidential term limits? don't count on it.

trump will not be removed by the senate. he will run again, and may well win for all of the reasons in point 3.

if he wins he will continue to destroy the government, and not only the agencies you list, but any agency or program that interferes with his rapacious privatization of everything.

congress has proven incapable of oversight. trump does not care that no future president will be controllable. that is not his problem.

there are many ways that an uncontrollable (uncheckable, unbalancable) unitary executive can stay in power past 2025 and beyond. there is no doubt that this is his ambition.

I derive no pleasure from stating this. my best hope is that he chokes on a hamburder.
