 @65278ca4 When they fully realize (and I am certain that it is dawning on people behind the curtains) what amount of cheating will be required in 2024 they will go easy way to power following long standing socialist practice - create emergency, cancel elections. Kamala as POTUS 'till 2028, ascending to the position w/o elections. Balance of powers in houses remaining the same. The only event that can reverse this path is in Sen Cinema and Sen Mancin hands-if upon cancelation they switch sides..

Seems like it would be much simpler for the elderly overweight orange-hued guy who famously loves McDonald's and Diet Coke to just have a "heart attack" than to go to all that trouble.  Sure, some people would have questions, but they don't care about those people anyway, and the bulk of Americans will just shrug and move on as long as the story is sort of plausible.
