Trump doesn't want another election to happen. He needs some powerful tools to ensure that happens, ie, massive scale ai surveillance and manipulation. Eg, like Xi uses in China. I bet anyone here he starts a war as his excuse

That's not enough. In the US, being at war doesn't cancel elections. (I mean, he may start a war, but he would need something in addition.)

  > he would need something in addition Specifically, he would need the US Congress to draft and pass legislation moving the date of the election. I don't know how eager they are, though, to create an unnecessary constitutional crisis.

The sad part is that I can't process whether your post is an exaggeration or the reality. It's insane how numb I am becoming to these blurry thin lines

  Don’t become numb. They want normal people to be depoliticized, silent, and withdrawn. We’re so much easier to subjugate and exploit that way: hopeless and spineless. They take more and more each day.

At least with Xi’s China you get 560GW of new electricity generation in one year. You get entire tier 1 cities built in 10. What will the new American reich accomplish?

In an interview with Zelinsky Trump asks "why haven't you had an election? " Zelensky : "because we are at war" you can see the idea percolating then. People think I'm a nutter for suggesting there just won't be another election but that's where my money is. I'm waiting for his version of the Gestapo, ICE seems to be a proving ground

  You're not a nutter. Trump constantly projects what he's going to do and no one takes him seriously because what he says is so beyond the pale. I explicitly remember the exact instance you're talking about because I thought the same thing as you are thinking.

  There will be a sham election, like in Russia, but a sizable number of people will be unable to vote. Trump only need to steal the election in a few key districts People like married women who changed their name, or foreign sounding people, they will be prevented to vote in 2026. ICE will guard polls to physically make people unable to reach the ballots

  An important detail here is that Ukraine's constitution says they can't have an election while they're at war. The US constitution does not say that, and the USA has had elections during wars several times.

Your bet has come out to be true. It's pretty clear that Trump wants to maximize his take over of USA for himself.

There seems to be an Iran war just kicking off. That would seem a lame excuse for cancelling elections though.
