> the GOP will establish an autocracy for decades.

do you just mean win elections for decades? That i can sort of believe (or at least comprehend), but wholesale destruction of Democracy? To me, that means canceling elections and the president declaring themself absolute power for life which i just don't see happening. I would expect a military coup before that since the military swears allegiance to the constitution first and then civilian leadership next.

What I mean is the following strategy:

- shredding off what remains of voting rights

- packing courts all over the country, including the SCOTUS with conservative or right-wing judges

- appointing right-wing figures to top positions in DoJ, DoD, and FBI

- cementing the state legislatures authorities to determine the outcome of elections
