I keep hearing various media personalities I like say things along the lines of “If we even have another presidential election… <nervous laughter>”

Is this just the joke of the month or are people truly thinking it’s game over? I don’t live in the US so I’m not really familiar with how that would work

    There will definitely be an election in 2028, barring something like nuclear war. “Free and fair elections™” like we’re used to is another question.

    It’s a lot harder to just not have elections than it is to run elections in a way that ensures you and your side win handily. Nazi Germany had elections.

    I’m not entirely sure I understand why this is. Maybe if you fully cancel elections people become a lot more likely to start shooting at you?
