At the moment, there is a dog that hasn’t barked when it comes to MAGA and that is Trump demanding a Constitutional Convention. It’s my impression that his “brain,” Steve Bannon is on board with the idea and, as such, it would make a lot of sense that at some point Trump is going to start ranting about the need for one.
I would suggest that the issue is now just a matter of timing.
Either Trump makes a Constitutional Convention the focal point of his 2024 campaign, or he waits until he’s in office to demand one for various idiotic reasons. But given how dark America’s future is, I could totally see one being called a lot sooner than even that — maybe even in the 2023 – 2024 timeframe. That’s definitely something that would juice the base.
The fact that Trump is a lazy idiot has spared us a lot of pain. If Trump was a “Great Man” of history, then he would now be an autocratic president for life. But Trump’s abstract thinking ability is so limited that he just can’t process something like the benefits to MAGA of calling a Constitutional Convention.
It may eventually come around to the idea, but if Trump was anything like Hitler, he would have already stolen the 2020 election and demanded MAGA “enabling acts” be enshrined in a new, MAGA-themed Constitution.
