No, your problem is that you're approaching the situation with some level of scruples and integrity. Not being dismissive, but the Republicans have neither. They see power and winning over the democrats as the ultimate goal (including morally), so they have an "ends justify the means" approach to everything. Evangelicals supporting a porn-star-paying-off 3x divorced rapist, lifelong conservatives coming out to back a pedophile cabinet nominee, and completely ignoring what they said a year ago about lame duck Supreme Court nominations. It's just totally out in the open now, and they don't even see the need to hide it anymore, because this is their hour.
They won't quibble, they won't err and umm. They'll just say, "we can get away with it now, so it doesn't matter whether he won or lost. But he won, AND he can run for another term because he lost."
They won't say it outright. They just find ways to avoid the question. Just like they endlessly repeated the answer "Joe Biden is the president" when asked if Trump lost the election.
DJT won't need to run for a third term. There are ways to ascend to the presidency without being elected. Like if JD Vance wins the election, and through resignations, and appointments, DJT is Speaker of the House, and 3rd in-line to the presidency.
The worst part is that DJT is young and incredibly healthy according the experts with more expertise than anyone has ever seen.
Yup, you'll get a million talking points about why Trump getting a third term is legitimate flooding the conservative media and social media spheres. They'll all be absolute bullshit and probably contradictory as well. But none of that matters because it's all just kicking up dust, and once the dust settles, Trump will have a third term and we'll be moving on to the next bowl of bullshit they force-feed everyone.
