I don’t think there is a floor. I think that this year (perhaps just months from now) - Trump will start ignoring all court orders. When court orders are ignored - the US Marshals are brought in to force compliance. The problem is the US Marshals work for Trump’s DOJ. So Trump stops being just a president and he becomes a dictator.
If god forbid this happens - the dems will go into quisling mode and I guess they’ll beg Daddy Trump for crumbs like allowing elections to continue.
oh yeah i’m not talking about there being a legal floor, of course there isn’t. my point isn’t that they’re an effective opposition at all. it’s that i didn’t think they’d just completely give up on the #resist aesthetic quite so immediately

They’d probably get the elections anyway. Trump isn’t showing signs of wanting this long-term.
