How likely are we actually thinking it is that the US doesn't hold elections in 2028? (hexbear.net)

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

Not only are there enormous class interests of the top of the bourgeois in holding elections (due to the associated spending and the legitimising of their rule) but it is also needlessly a potential catalyst for the military and other institutions to step in as they threatened to do at the end of Trump's last term due to their own interests. It would divide the current rulers for no gain

A better question is if the election would be a total sham.
