We would be in a dictatorship already if these people were not so incompetent. Pam Bondi wrote a lawsuit to force California to drop their emission standards on cars and she called it Trumps DOJ against California or something close enough to those lines.

Republicans are cooked. The economy is down, gdp was revised down, inflation is up and this is before the Iran costs are effecting the data. The Iran war on top… mid terms are going to be a blood bath.

Which worries me, if it’s not a tough fight but a guaranteed route how far will they go with their election denial/supression bullshit.

'Trump is aiming for dictatorship'. That's the verdict of the world's most credible democracy watchdog

The US is no longer a democracy. One of the most credible global sources on the health of democratic nations now says this outright. The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.

[...] Threats to bureaucrats and poll workers administering elections are already alarming, Lindberg says. "We've seen media reports that 40% of election/poll workers have quit since 2020. And Trump never accepted his defeat then. Why would he accept a defeat now? If we see a denial of the election results in 2026, then it's a complete democratic breakdown."

However, the Trump administration's extreme incompetence in attacking Iran---particularly their failure to anticipate and prepare for the Iranian retaliation---is likely diminishing his support in the military. And resulting inflation seems to be reducing his support in red states. But he may still have enough hardcore supporters or others willing to commit to aiding his auto-coup (perhaps in hopes of personal gain) to pull it off...
