Legitimate question: if there is a change to the term limits on the office of POTUS, passed by GOP to enable another Trump run, wouldn't that also allow Obama to run again? If yes, what are the pros and cons of this? Just trying to game this out.

Cons: immediate civil war, making the last one look like a tea party. Pros:

To clarify, you think Obama being on the ballot would be the last straw before violent uprising against or violent repression by the existing administration? Or the removal of term limits?

Removing terms limits, and importantly, disallowing Obama from running due to his 2 consecutive terms as another commenter suggested. Yes I would violently uprise if that happened.

I believe I responded to the other comment you mentioned.

That this was even purposed is a dangerous attempt to test the waters or perhaps just distract from everything else that is going on while also giving those loyal to Trump to show that publicly with low risk. This is not normal.
