Trump will try a dictator power grab. This isn't even questionable seeing as he already tried to do this. The only question at this point is if everyone else in power goes along with it or they scoff like they did last time.

Seeing as how there are a lot less principled people involved, and the oligarchs enjoy the idea of personal techno-fiefdoms the odds are at least non-negligible that the USA as a democracy could end.

Sure, but I have money on him not living to the end of his term.

I don’t think most republicans like trump, he just has a cult following.

I also don’t think that any other republican can garner that kind of following. Trump has aura in a way that no other public figure has right now.

I don’t think any regime he sets up would survive his death.
