lol. The 2020 election was the fairest and freest election ever with no fraud. That happened under Trump, right?

I lean towards oligarchy. There will be elections, and the votes that are cast will count, but the scales are going to be so institutionally titled towards the GOP in more and more places that it would be a farce to call the country a true representative democracy. To be honest it’s already like that with the electoral college.

America is already an oligarchy. However, one party is far better at using that oligarchy to their advantage than the other. And it ain't Trump's party.

You're for sure right, BUT I would argue it was despite Trump, not because of Trump.

Btw, I voted no in the poll.

No. It will continue growing more dysfunctional as it has continually since 9/11 but it will take a lot more than simply a president to make us an autocracy. We're more at risk of becoming an autocracy from an economic collapse than anything else. Powell's .25% interest rate proposal is downright pathetic given the level of inflation we're facing.
