I really hope that’s true. But fascists don’t give up power when their military is obedient and loyal to them. I don’t wish the path to that justice to be paved with the blood of thousands. But, history is not filled with ruling class wilfully giving up their power in situations like we find ourselves. Unfortunately, we either get a “go high” liberal presidency that just leads us farther into a white supremacist Tucker Carlson 2032. Or, we actually elect a socialist in 2028 and the current fascist refuse to accept the results. The later is still the better option. Because if we get another “reach across the aisle” liberal that tries to renormalize the Republican party and doesn’t bring real justice. Well, we’ll go to a place in this country we’ll never come back from.

The right is going to call whoever the Democrat candidate may be a socialist regardless. I am fully convinced that the administration is going to use the supposedly “fraudulent” midterms as an excuse to block the 2028 elections entirely. I think it is likely that Trump will be pushed out after the midterms to set up for 10 years of Vance. With luck Rubio and others will try to steal the top spot from Vance and the whole thing will tear itself apart. I share your worry that the next Dem administration will fail to prosecute enough of Trump’s cronies. They have enough money and influence to drag such a fight out for decades. We need to go full nuclear from day one and take the whole administration down for conspiracy to commit treason.
