Once Kav is appointed, SCOTUS controlled by GOP for decades, insulating Trump against Mueller. GOP make grounds in Nov. Trump wins 2020 & prepares a Trump junior as successor. Voter suppression & youth apathy does the rest. Eventually, dem norms die outright & monarchy installed.

Not a monarchy; a xenophobic fascist state. Not that we're far behind over here

We're on same path, for sure. I suggest (xenophobic/facist) monarchy b/c I easily see a Trumpian dynasty positioned by GOP in power for a long time - pseudo-monarchs until one day they actually declare divine Christian/white rule. Trump's already a divine monarch to his base.

Viewed dispassionately (which is hard) it's kind of fascinating. America is going through a period where all the instruments of democracy and checks+balances are being turned on themselves, like some kind autoimmune disease.

Why use "monarchy" when "dick-tatorship" exists?
