I keep hearing various media personalities I like say things along the lines of "If we even have another presidential election... "

Is this just the joke of the month or are people truly thinking it's game over? I don't live in the US so I'm not really familiar with how that would work

The kind of "free and fair" 2-party ones we're used to? It depends on how badly Trump fucks up; whether some combination of the AI bubble popping, tariffs and sanctions collapsing the US dollar as a reserve currency, plus a failed war or wars with Venezuela, Iran, Russia, or China makes Trump and the Republicans so toxically unpopular and their position so diminished that they're forced to allow them.
