No because in a video I just saw when he was speaking to a group of christians he said this is the election you need to vote in because when he is president there will be no more voting. He said this three times just to reinforce it.

Obviously just locker room talk. People are just taking his comments about ending democracy and becoming a dictator on day one out of context. He’s speaking metaphorically.

–“Centrists” still voting for Trump, probably

I'd like to believe that congress would never allow him to change the constitution and subvert due process, but you just never know what might happen with this guy.

He'd just do it and the supreme court would tell any legal challengers to fuck off

Andrew Jackson did something similar during his own presidency, but it was the supreme court he told to fuck off.

Essentially, he wanted to relocate all the native Americans west of the Mississippi river. Well, the native Americans did what every other American does and they sued the U.S. Government. When the court ruled in favor of the Indians, Andy Jackson basically said, "fuck you, I'm gonna do it anyways."
