    You’re right, we should abolish term limits to make a forever leader whose opposition gets disappeared, and we should start apprehending and sentencing to death any wealthy who disagree with that leader. Trump seems to claim he’s the opponent of corruption and big money, right? He can be our leftwing supreme leader. /sarcasm

      Can you point to where anyone said we should “abolish term limits to make a forever leader whose opposition is disappeared?” If you can’t, this is what’s called a straw man argument.

        The meme states that they “had to enact term limits” to stop leftists. The leftist in question had the FBI and IRS investigate his opponents.

          So you can’t point to where anyone said we should “abolish term limits to make a forever leader whose opposition is disappeared.” This is what’s called a straw man argument. You’re arguing against a straw man.
