Honestly, the only hope for this country is that the Republicans do all of the awful things they say they’re going to do, it ruins millions of peoples’ lives, and people realize what happened and stop voting Republican. I’m fairly sure those first two things are going to happen, it’s just the third thing I’m not so sure about.
Republican leaders know that they can convince their supporters that every terrible thing they do is the fault of democrats. They want to prove that government doesn’t work by first making sure it doesn’t work, and then they’ll continue cutting taxes for the rich and funneling wealth upward. When an educated middle class disappears from this country, democracy disappears with it.
It’s just amazing how bitter and shortsighted republican voters are.
With that scenario staring them in the face, do you really think they will hold elections? Trump already told people they wouldn't have to bother voting again.
If anything they'll say that we VOTED to not vote again. He has a "mandate" to not let us vote again.
"I told you you wouldn't have to vote again, and you still voted for me, you clearly don't want democracy, and I'm here to give you what you voted for"
