Stranger things have happened. I could see a timeline that goes like:
-
The election in 2028 is blatantly stolen by Republicans, establishing a mask-off dictatorship.
-
After a decade, they’re eventually ousted by a popular front consisting of civil society advocates, leftist organizers and activists, and religious movements.
-
As the regime falls, the religious movement takes over everything and establishes an overt theocracy.

He meant that Democrats will shift so much to the right that they will be good enough for an average Republican voter which will make voting unnecessary.

Time is a flat circle that consists of only about 100 years.

Don’t worry! They don’t need to “steal” elections, why would they? It’s not as if the Democrats will reverse anything, they’re all making a fortune. Remember Biden’s presidency?
If Republicans seized power, that would be a fatal mistake (and they know it). I pray to God that I’m wrong and you’re right, and they do seize power, because that will be the end of it.
