How many Republicans would support him?

Either by him trying to revoke the 22nd or going full on dictator.

At this point I'm not even convinced most Americans realize term limits are a thing, so I doubt there would be much pushback

Well, the OP question is trivial and was answered in post 2.

The only thing left to discuss is how far the rot extends from Trump/Republicans to the rest of society.

Do you really think that any wouldnt ?

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
About 65% of them.
Warning: This post contains Trumbles known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
And democrats will just shake their heads while this happens.
Clearly not all republicans will support him. A lot of them didn't support his reelection.

But certainly enough of them do support him, so he may have the support he needs.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
So note to self: Do more myself.

The dude is 78 years old and lives pretty unhealthily. I think people should just wait a few years before worrying about "third terms."

You should be much more concerned about Trump appointing an "heir" than him either living to a third term or having the health to actually run again. Running for and being President is utterly draining and every single man who takes the job visibly ages every single term from the stresses of it. This is very likely Trumps final term one way or another. Biology cares not for the ego of man.

He very well could re-write things to forcefully put DJTJ into position of power. Or maybe get rid of rules stating you must be an American citizen to be president and get Musk in there or something stupid. Who knows with what the Supreme Court allows now.

That's because they have to do work.

Trump is lazy as fuck and doesn't give a shit. There's no stress for him.

They probably did when they had strong opinions about communist overlord Obama running for a third term

But that was more than a couple days ago so they probably forgot about him already

I'm sure a small handful of republicans will say it's wrong and he should stick with two terms....and then they'll get invited to dinner with Trump and will not only bend the knee, but will go a step further and say he needs to be president for all eternity.

kinda like how lots of republicans were outspoken against trump back in 2015/2016, then all of a sudden loved him and said everything he touched turned to gold.
?
People saying all of them are wrong. There would be a bit of pushback from the "honourable" republicans who want to pretend they care about things.

But when it comes time for something to actually happen, they'll all fall in line and support whatever Trump does - we saw this bit of political theatre like, every time Trump tried to do something stupid or illegal.
Are there any honorable republicans left after McCain (and even then, LoL) died?

Mitt Romney will probably complain about it, then go along anyways (remember when he was supposed to be the extremist end of the party?)

Besides, we'll see once the Trump admin actually starts - a lot like how a lot of people are only being paid attention to because they're going full-MAGA, there will be a bunch of politicians who make a name for themselves by providing the "rational discourse" against Trump's over the top craziness. They'll all fall in line, but it's to create the impression of caring about people while they strip everyone's rights away. And the biggest names to come out of this will have to be republicans getting in the way.

It'll all be theatre, but it will make Trump and his policies look like they actually give a shit about people.

Thats why theyll support him. Every Republican in government is egotistical enough to think theyll be the next president for life once he destroys all the barriers.

Lol yeah he's going to "get rid of" Article 2 of the constitution. Let's not get into blueanon fanfic territory.

In fact, he looked better in 20 than he did in 16

20-24 aged him like 10 years though. Bitterness and court proceedings lmao

I can promise you the overwhelming majority of Political CE posters have no idea how the government actually works, and somehow think the answer to everything is "But the Supreme Court".

It's not worth engaging with people that legitimately think Trump is going to overthrow the constitution because he's Trump.

All of them. Trump will absolutely either go for a 3rd term or just remain in power by scrapping the elections.

Pathetic democrats will simply say that this "goes against all norms" and they are "troubled" by such developments while ultimately doing nothing about it.

He's already ignored the constitution multiple times and only gotten more popular and more powerful.

people like you think the constitution is some magical sacred artifact tht will use divine powers to prevent trump from becoming a dicator

rather than what it actually is just a piece of paper

Yep. He attempted a coup and hasn't faced any consequences. And now the SCOTUS has given him full immunity from criminal proceedings on "Official Acts", which is remarkably vague.

In addition, even if found to have done something illegal, we see how slow the courts move. He's going to wipe his ass with the Constitution this time around because why wouldn't he? He hasn't faced any true consequences, and the country voted him back in with even fewer guardrails, and he's surround by even more sycophants this time around that won't reign in his worst impulses.
Do people really think there wouldn't be huge pushback? I think he'd be removed rather quickly
I am better than Vanessa Rousso
There was essentially no long-term pushback for him attempting a coup , of course there wouldn't be huge pushback, at least from the people where their opinions mattered

Trump wouldnt be able to get his name on the ballot. Even if he tried to run again, theres no legal mechanism for him to be eligible.
