The writings has been on the walls for a while with the trajectory being rather obvious for people who pay attention.
I predicted based on the increased polarization and game-theory that the two sides would increasingly turn against each other to the point where one seed would see it necessary to crush the other side before the other side does that to them.

I even mentioned a potential invasion of canada after a republican president becomes dictator.
To end democracy in the US you only need the following 3
0. The presidency.
1. 34+ senators who are not going to remove the president from office in the senate impeachment trial.
2. enough loyalists in the military
3. At least 13 states unwilling to approve a change to the constitution that would preserve democracy.
Trump has 0 and 1 and 3 and should be able to get 2 if he isn't there already.
Right now it looks like the trump administration is increasingly ignoring the courts pushing further and further knowing that the courts cannot actually enforce anything since they are not the ones in control over the military, they are just some clerks with fancy titles who rely on other people respecting their shaky authority.

It remains to be seen to what extent the Trump administration is going to bother doing what courts tell them to do when they can ignore courts and do what they want.
That however assumes that there will be fair elections held where there is any real chance of a non-republican president actually winning. What prevents them from rigging the election so hard there is no way for JD vance (or who-ever takes over after Trump) to lose assuming there are going to be any more presidential elections to begin with.

Ignoring the courts will come back to bite the republicans once the democrats win and are able to do the same.
