The thing about what’s going on as we slide into autocracy is we’ve reached point where everyone is learning the weaknesses of the system. So, no matter what, this is it, the end — you can’t unring Trump’s bell.
We either go full Russian-style autocracy, or we have a Great Turbulence where the Good Guys win and a Third Republic is established. There is no middle ground anymore.
I honestly don’t know which direction things are going to go. It could be either way. The only way we “solve” this problem is via something akin to a Revolution and I just don’t see Americans prepared to do that. So, I suppose I’ve answered my own question — it seems like we’re going to become a very legalistic dictatorship with two branches of government that exist, but don’t do anything.
That’s the dystopian hellscape that we’re zooming towards at the moment.
