Oh there will still be elections, Don Jr will get 80% of the vote, then Ivanka will get 95% sometime in the 2040's when Jr strokes out

Beat me to it. Thanks!
Anyone who thinks this is being over-dramatic clearly hasn't been paying attention over the last 4 years. The GOP have already attained their ultimate goal in stacking the Supreme Court. Trump holding onto power will only push the U.S. further into authoritarianism, and it'll happen a lot quicker than you think.
