Yes, that much is certain, but it’s not at all certain whether there will be a “way out” like you imagine. The reason: If this “administration” were to leave office, everyone involved would likely face prosecution, even in a system as corrupt as that of the U.S.

They won’t risk that, especially since their first coup attempt last time went unpunished. Now the orange despot has ICE, a secret police force whose budget far exceeds that of all other federal agencies combined—such as the FBI, CIA, etc. There can only be one reason for this, and that is the establishment of a true autocracy with all the constraints that come with it. I am now convinced that the sham democracy the U.S. has been for decades has come to an end.

I simply cannot understand how American citizens fail to see this, why they still cling to the idea that the U.S. is a country governed by the rule of law—it isn’t; it hasn’t been for a long time.

Edit: I’m from Germany and we have a history with that kind of thing.
