Authoritarians in countries backsliding away from democracy learned not to cancel elections. Instead, they abuse state power to give themselves unfair advantages in elections, then cite their “victory” as a source of legitimacy.
US is not really at risk of no elections. The risk is unfair ones.

Liberal gallows humor holds that we won't have any more elections. But if Trump believes that Putin is a more legitimate president than Zelensky just because he had more recent "elections," I'd bet that we *will* have elections, just ones that look more and more Russian.

Under a new executive order, the government can only hire one new employee for every four that leave.
That order includes the VA and FEMA.
A 75% reduction in VA nurses. A 75% reduction in emergency aid workers.
Call you reps in Congress to oppose this order.

This list of USAID contracts Rubio (probably Jan6er Peter Marocco) has canceled in the last few days makes it clear State has decided democracy itself is "woke."
