> If Americans want a snowballs chance in hell, there need to be special elections around the country in 2025, to take control of congress. Perhaps, though I don't see how you're going to get them without changing or violating the Constitution. And changing the Constitution would mean acceptance by those you're trying to get rid of. Bluntly, the only way this could happen is a civil war - a real, shooting civil war, with bullets and dead bodies. I'm not yet at the point of cheering for that, much as I dislike the current status quo. > Republican senators and congressfolk are threatened by the voting base if they break with Trump, which they wont anyway. Then I don't see how a special election in 2025 would help. You say we need a special election to get rid of these folks, but you also say that these folks would be threatened by the voting base if they break with Trump - which to me means that they won't be threatened by the voting base if they stick with Trump. So I don't think your point 4 offers any hope at all. |

A special election is a dumb idea.
