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

Basically every country nowadays has elections, even ones that are pretty blatantly not genuine. There's no real reason not to have elections, especially if you can manage to institutionally legally rig the results (like Mussolini's parliamentary electionlaws, lol).
