This analysis, if it can be called as such, misses the fact that the US is very, very politically divided, to the point where I can see elections results being regularly considered illegitimate. That perspective has been allowed to become reasonable, which is very, dangerous.

You think we’ll still have elections?

> You think we’ll still have elections

If you throw away democracy do you still have a USA to speak of?

I think the answer to that is no, though perhaps I am mistaken that every US patriot has fealty to the constitution.

"US patriots" have fealty to an imagined version of the constitution that lets the Republicans do whatever they want. There is no reason to think this will change if the Republicans get even more fascist.
