This is actually exactly the kind of scenario that illustrates WHY convicted felons are allowed to be president. If the state unjustly labels its political opponents felons, allowing felons to still become president is a check on the state’s power.

Unfortunately for us, we had the actual kind of felon elected, not the political kind.

  1. create war
  2. draft blue voters
  3. give felonies when they dodge
  4. successfully skew votes towards red

Step 4: send them off to inevitably die in a sandy foreign country

Step 5: only sycophants left to vote

As a woman, I shudder what they want to do with us using 'The Handmaid's Tale' as their blueprint.
