With republicans in power and the gerrymandering that will be allowed by the SCOTUS, and with a president who will never admit defeat and order his VP to not certify an election that doesn't go his way - in what world do you see democrats ever having power in America again? It's 100% over. We've become Russia. EDIT: a word

The opposition party gained power after his previous reign and the electorate decided to give it back to him. It will be ok. The Constitution is quite strong.

You forgot the part where social media companies are fully on board with extreme conservative agenda, and more people will be brainwashed. IMO Trump would have never won if it wasn't for Rogan, Elmo and his xitter. It's completely over. The only thing I hope happens - to prevent this country from being a 1 party system in perpetuity - is inner conflicts within the republican party that ends up dividing them and help create a new party to help recalibrate. But it will just be "extreme right" vs "very extreme right".

I think good social media companies promote freedom of expression. Twitter claimed to be the “free speech wing of the free speech party” and then departed from that until Musk bought it. Similarly, Rogan invites a variety of people and is more interested in conversations than making moral claims. He invited Harris who declined.

Trump won a majority across a variety of demographics. He won every meaningful contest. The Democrats will regroup and rethink their strategy. What they’ve been doing lately is clearly not working.
