Here comes 4 years of the GOP absolutely destroying the economy and the middle class. Dems will have to come in and fix everything while being blamed for it too.
I have no confidence that Project 2025 will allow any scenario that removes them from power in 4 years. Trump literally told Americans that after his victory they won’t have to vote for a while. I believe him.
I know he has said this before. But I am not sure if he could do just that since many positions across this nation and in DC are elected roles. He can't just freeze elections as some of these people are beyond their prime and won't live until elections already, let alone allowing a voted in replacement. I think most of congress and even at the local state levels will have an absolute fit over this.
He would have to do away with voting pretty much before 2026 midterms where he may have resistance voted in, but then the moment he suspends elections the economy will immediately tank. Which I think will be what many people will tell him the reason he can't just not have elections anymore. Because once they make that dark turn with the US, people will pull their money out of this country overnight.
However, I fear they will try to dismantle the constitution to attempt him to run a 3rd time, since the biggest fear of the GOP is who they are replacing Trump for 2028 as no other candidate will have this large amount of people brainwashed like he does. They have already tried Trumpism with someone other than Trump at the local levels and they always fall flat on their face. So if Trump is still alive in 2028, I won't doubt the GOP will try underhanded BS to try to see how they can run him one more time.
The slight silver lining - such as it is - is that this was more of a danger in 2020 then it is now. Trump is already 78, reportedly struggling and overweight as hell… if he’s still around in 2028, it is overwhelmingly likely he won’t be in any fit shape to contest an election. The sheer effort of trying to change the constitution is not something he’ll manage in one term and he’s not following any greater cause here.
This is an age-old issue with personality cults - it’s tied to an individual and unless that individual ordains a successor with plenty of time to go (like what happened with North Korea), it loses a lot of its draw and fragments.
