This was it, the last election. With both houses of Congress, the courts, and Project 2025 in full effect, they no longer have any obligation to comply with the law or the Constitution. The monster can simply declare himself Emperor Donald I and there is nothing, NOTHING, we can do about it. If they declare that there will no longer be any elections, who can stop them? How can they be stopped? > > It’s over. Done. They told us what they were going to do, explicitly. They might put some thin veneer of legitimacy on it, but in the end there will be a “national emergency” to justify the passing of emergency legislation (they might even have the stones to call it the Enabling Act), and just like that we’re in 1934 and even his cult will be surprised how easy it was. > [@Please disabuse me of the fear that a Trump hereditary monarchy is being planned](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/please-disabuse-me-of-the-fear-that-a-trump-hereditary-monarchy-is-being-planned/1009921/102): > > I expect I’ll be dead, one way or another, along with most people here.
