    I have my doubts, too, but until they decide to go full on dictatorship, I’m going to keep assuming it’s business as usual.

    If they cancel elections, though, that’s a bright red line that they are crossing. At that point, America no longer exists, and I am under no obligation to follow its laws or pay taxes.

      Who’s talking about canceling them, the ice just got a big pile of money, my bet is on ice agents with rifles standing next to each voting booth. To make sure it’s a fair and secure election of course, with all those illegals and woke leftists making trouble, better be safe.

      Not to forget about those voting machines his team already has access to since the last election.

      Maybe arrest some promising opponents beforehand like erdogan usually does.

      Those are gonna be the best and most free elections anyone ever had.

        Nobody is talking about it on the MAGA side, but that’s because it is too early. If they were to make the announcement now, that leaves more than a year for people to get angry, and the courts to weigh in, stop their ban.

        Instead, they’ll wait until late next summer. They will stoke the protests between now and then, forcing them to be more and more violent. Eventually they will engineer a major violent incident, and sometimes around early to mid-October 2026, he will announce that the 2026 Mid-terms are being postponed “until peace can be restored.” Since he controls the peace, and what defines it, that will never happen.

        Even so, many will believe him, and think that when those evil liberal protesters start to behave, we can get our elections back. But when he suspends the 2028 Presidential election, people will finally understand that there will never be another election as long as he is alive.

          I think both outcomes are likely right now, but it’s pretty sure that there’s not gonna be a regular free democratic election.
