It’s almost like Trump tried a coup to avoid leaving office the last time around.

    It’s not a question of being allowed, he’s broken so many laws in the past alone and got away with it heck is still doing those same things. Already he is denying legality of any law or prosecution that is currently blocking him and steps past…

    It’s a matter of who will dare to stop him once he is at that point: He has judges in his pocket. Part of the armed forces apparently are pro maga. Who or which branch will actually physically stop him once he declares his reign to continue? Ofcourse it will be under a lame excuse that it’s good for the country, it is in unrest or at war right now so elections are bad hmmkay? So generally it’ll be swallowed and shrugged off.

    Any PERSON trying, or even complaining, risks being shot by henchmen or at the very least gets their and their family’s lives destroyed.

    Here and there there might be committees making a declaration what he’s doing is illegal, but if Trump’s team ignores it all or makes them go away, there is no oversight to stop him because no one single individual dares to stand in front.

    As long as he has part of the judiciary system and a good chunk of armed folks to his defense one can sue and complain and he might show up in court to make a circus out of it but meanwhile will sit it all out on his throne.
