He has stated he will be a dictator. The Senate flipped Republican and there is a good chance the house will too.
With total control of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, all they have to do is repeal the filibuster (very easy), and they have complete unchecked control.
They will obviously start with things that are not as bad, but they’re not going to want to give up their power, and in 2 years there is a zero percent chance elections will be held democratically. They might appear democratic, but they’ll resemble “elections” in Russia.
The most important and serious one not on the list is that democracy no longer exists in the US. I would be very surprised if people are allowed to vote in 2026.
He will be a dictator day one (actual quote), and dictators don’t typically stop dictating once they feel the power.
I honestly think he’s going to be worse than Hitler. A lot can change over the next 10 years.
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?

We need a solution to this, because honestly the US just lost its democracy.
It’s 1933.
Any ideas on ways out of this?

I honestly think this will be the last time we have an election. It’s looking like he could possibly take the house, Senate is already red. Likely control of all 3 chambers. Our systems of checks and balances likely won’t survive the next 2 years.
The man has outright said he would be a dictator on day one and would make his enemies pay.
1776-2024. RIP America’s experiment in democracy.
