    I wonder how bad things will get during the near future - this decade for example...

    If the GOP captures enough state legislatures, they can call a Constitutional Convention to change the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

      If it makes you feel any better: They'd be able to call a convention with 34 states, but would still need 38 states to actually ratify and confirm any changes, which is highly unlikely even in Hellworld (Never say never tho of course).

        I think this year's elections were be a dry run for GOP malfeasance. And the 2024 elections will be a sick, corrupt joke where the GOP perverts our electoral system. They could certainly get to 38 states by the end of the decade.

          I personally doubt it since that would basically require the Republicans to completely flip and control 1 or 2 consistently very solid blue Democrat strongholds, but ya never know.

            Consider that not only will voting will be thoroughly corrupted our legal system might (will?) often be a GOP rubber stamp. The GOP is going to be absolutely power drunk starting from a few hours ago when the news broke. I think they are capable of anything and our legal system will fail us.
