I fear the Yuan will take over if it happens at all.

I think you underestimate them. And if they do, who will you complain to anyway?

Even a country formed by survivors of the last round is engaging in genocide.

The electorate swung solidly right, giving Trump the popular vote. Much as I'd like a more left-wing administration in the US, the evidence does not support the theory that a left leaning campaign would have helped. The US apparently wants an authoritarian government, and it got it.

This is not just the US either - globally we are shifting rapidly to authoritarian regimes. In my own UK where the center left (at best) Labour won the election, but only because the right wing parties were split by FPTP. The Tories elected a far right leader last week and got derided for it, but for them, it's absolutely the right move, and the next election will likely deliver a far right Tory or Tory/Reform coalition. For reference, Labour got less votes than the previous election that they lost in a land slide.

Same where I currently live, Germany, and my fiancé's France.

Dark times are ahead. Prepare for the worst.

I don't think they need a constitutional amendment, just Scotus ruling that it only applies to consecutive terms, for example.

I fear that the next election will be more ceremony than democracy once they have finished rigging it. At this point, I expect a third term for Trump - if he lives that long.

There's a great German TV show from a few years back about a crime scene cleaner "Tatortreiniger". It's more philosophical/funny than gruesome and worth a watch if you don't mind reading sub-titles. The BBC did an adaptation in English, but I've not watched it yet.

Why not support OpenSuse instead of starting from scratch? Mature, EU based, enterprise ready... it checks all the boxes IMHO.

I did a job developing a multimedia CD that trained doctors. Well, it was more of a marketing tool. For oncology... of the face and genitals. It was easily the most harrowing experience of my career. So many genitalia and tongues with hideous growths and what have you. The people who agreed to be photographed were both brave and very, very unwell.

I was on the tech team, sonI got off quite lightly. The two graphics people spent day after day aligning and processing these photos so that everything was clearly visible. I don't know how they slept at night.

I left after a year. I don't think anyone managed longer than that.
