republicans have thus far been willing to risk literally the entire constitution/democratic process, but term limits for president would be the line they don’t cross?
If they kill democracy, or kill the constitution, that just means THEY’RE in charge.
But if they go against term limits, there is no more inevitable back and forth. There could be a time where the democrats gain power, and without term limits, never give it up.
Whereas this way, they continue to make slow progress thats never interupted. They don’t want to risk that.

A lot of their other transgressions have consequences. They’re doing them anyway.
