Except in this case Trump has promised to be a dictator: https://youtu.be/aX0iAmz9iLM?si=PbFCWr6CvpJ-nlXc
Also he was the first president in history to refuse a peaceful transition of power and attempted to overthrow the democratic process.
You don't go about it from the federal level. States control their own elections. We could use state-level ballot measures to let the public vote for ranked choice voting state by state.
So did his icon, Mussolini, who won office in a landslide.
But not first administration. Hoover's secretaries conspired towards the Business Plot, to remove FDR and replace him with Smedly Butler. Allen Dulles's CIA repeatedly undermined Kennedy after Kennedy fired Dulles in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion. The Saturday Night Massacre was all that kept Nixon from holding office in the face of impeachment. Eugene Debbs was imprisoned by political rivals in an effort to keep him from so much as campaigning. And that's not even mentioning the fucking Civil War, which erupted in direct response to Lincoln's successful presidential run.
Second verse, same as the first. Five states have banned ranked choice voting in the last two months.
