I earnestly believe the midterm elections will happen far too late to have any impact. Look at how much has already been dismantled in the first six months:

- people are being disappeared in broad daylight, by masked mercenary squads and without due process

- the military has already been deployed domestically

- courts have been neutered/ignored

- the supreme court generally rules in favour of the regime, and when it doesn't even the supreme court gets ignored

- the first political adversaries have already been assassinated

- the majority of the Senate is happily cheering on all of the above

All three branches of government are already fully under control of this regime. Add to that the many agencies that have been gutted or clipped, and the dismantling of healthcare and social security. What do you think will be left of the US' institutions in 18 months?
