I was thinking regime change along the lines of you gonna get old and croak and be replaced in the voting both by some millenial/Z/alpha that will not repeat your mistake of trying to give the government arbitrary power because their whole lives all they have ever seen is that power come back around in various forms to screw the people.

As you like to quote, "demographics is destiny".

It will take 10-20 years of election cycles for the cohort replacement you mention to take place. By regime change, I mean the current administration is disempowered.

To note, we did not get here from arbitrary power; we got here due to partisan failure of checks and balances in Congress and SCOUTS. But, to your point, I believe changes will be made to prevent this failure scenario in the future.
