    Elections going forward will be for show, like elections in Russia. But Trump has said “we won’t need to vote again” so maybe he’ll just make himself president for like President Xi. This is extreme, but since the Rs will control every branch, could they ban the Democrat party, or it to break up, anything like that?

      They can do what ever they like. Democrats are powerless to stop them. They don’t even know if they should. They hesitate when they see injustice and think, wait, this could look politically bad and hurt my reelection. Trump has dispeled all that shit and proved that all this political posturing is bullshit. You can be as unhinged as you like, and as long as you’ve fostered real support and didn’t just garner it from some political capital factory it will be unwavering.

      Lots don’t realize it yet but this was their last chance to vote. It was pretty meaningless but they could have fended off the reversal of years of political gains but instead they looked to their pockets and let the people with their hand in it have back control.
