MODERATORS
Right now I can see two futures.
One where the 2026 election gives the Dems control of both Houses.
The other where the 2026 elections are cancelled for national security reasons.
Or the Republicans push through "election security" laws that gerrymander the whole country to the point that Democrats can never gain a majority in either house ever again.
This is 100% how every single dictatorship in existence today works. Almost all countries in the world hold elections. But some are more democratic than others. Every single tyrant in power today has been or claim to have been democratically elected.
