          They will. Autocrats love public applause, and what public applause is greater than a 90+ % vote? Or do you know of any autocracy that does not have a ritual of approval called elections?

          Well, granted, military dictatorships usually don’t do this election thing. With all this ICE buildup, Department of War renaming, declaring war on gangs while redifining the Venuzuelan government as gang, and this Chipocalypse stuff Trump is cosplaying more and more as an unhinged warlord. I’m afraid you might be right.

        Neither desantis nor vance will get it ultimately. I do not think, especially not desantis.

            There will be a big fight in the viper nest for it in any case, that is the maybe one chance to unseat the party before it is too rigged to overcome, but it would need to be a popular candidate running a reform campaign.

            Newsom will not walk with presidency, he had his chance in 2024 when he could have won but waited his turn like a bitch.

            But I digress. Idk who ends with supreme leader but it will make things worse not better, half as mean and twice as smart and the country will get sliced up by the megacorps and parasitical biz dickheads.
