I'm British, but I think to expect free and fair election in the US in two years is to stick your head in the sand.

I don't see them preventing elections, but just rejecting or altering results that don't support them: the litmus test is already triggered: the special election in North Carolina has an ongoing court case trying to throw out ballots to allow the Republican to win.

They have also pushed a executive order claiming sweeping powers over elections which they will use as pretext to do this nationally. Blatantly illegal, but they have already shown they are ignoring the courts, so who will hold them to account? Mass civil unrest is the only thing left.



I missed the North Carolina part. Do you think the judges will play ball here too ?

If you can't vote your representative out of office, then, well, yeah, you're not really in a democracy anymore.

I guess you can always incorporate and sell bitcoins - then, you have a chance to buy your élections.

Or, admit that you now leave in a dictatorship, and thank your maga neighbors for that.

At some point, both Presidents Musk and Trump die of old age, and a window of opportunity for change opens.
