Trump will publicly "discover" that the Democrats are "running an illegal alien voter fraud ring" in districts that are up in the air. Trump will send ICE and the National Guard to vet polling stations (read: intimidate/black-bag minorities). The Dems will hem and haw about how this is illegal but in a way where they do not put physical resistance/security up to combat these measures. This will decimate turnout for the disenfranchised. Liberals will post about how they have to let you vote if you stay in line and you have to stay in line even if they black-bag you.

There will be a case that goes to the Supreme Court about this that will only be resolved after the counts are finalized and will either say, 6-3, that a) this is illegal but we can't redo the elections because of it, or b) this is legal, fuck you.

alternatively, it will be resolved by shadow docket. the mask is off, the last scraps of the internal concessions from the Soviet era will no longer be tolerated by the bourgeoisie the-deserter

'91 was a horrible ending for us all. The biggest lie told about the Cold War is that the American people won. The working class of the whole world lost the Cold War. The only winners were oligarchs and fascists.

Yes, and I feel like the ruling class has forgotten why those concessions were made so the rise of China is unlikely to do anything to return them.

Doubt all the fascist pageantry is even necessary, Dems couldn't win an election if their lives depended on it because they're simply Republicans (fascists) by another name.

we are posting an armed guard next to the lathe and giving them your picture

Doubt the republicans need to do all that.

The know the American people really really REALLY fucking love the GOP. The official RNC could just not even spend a single penny on advertising and just coast starting now and likely win in a landslide.

“You will own nothing and be happy” was a promise they made and they are pulling it off.

I don't think that's necessarily the case, I think Trump's win was driven by a large bloc of noncommitteds who have since either turned against the regime or just tuned out of politics altogether who won't show up in the mids.

I agree. I'm on team every election will swing from one party of the duopoly to the other until the end of time due to increasingly deteriorating conditions, unless one of them stays in power by pulling shenanigans from op's post.

In fairness, Americans who actively vote for Republicans are a minority, the vast majority just don't vote at all out of apathy.

Please use a spoiler tag, I haven't seen this season yet

Additionally, the democrat supporters will insist that the solution to this is to vote harder, and when polling comes out that minorities voted in lower numbers than previous years (because of the aforementioned intimidation) the dems will then blame minorities for the current state of affairs and tell them they deserve to be sent to the camps because they didn't vote.

The democrats will be campaigning on a "moderate" platform to win back swing voters who have valid concerns over immigration, crime and LGBTQ people existing.
