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.
