The US is currently an autocracy/idiocracy. A staggeringly corrupt, busted nation.

Soon enough the midterms will be effectively cancelled.

Americans remain blissfully unaware.

We are in a bad place right now, that is for certain.

That would be a pretty big leap from where we are. I think it is important to pay attention, and very important to vote, but there is not a particularly plausible route to cancelling any elections. But they can certainly make enough noise that a lot of people may become confused or scared to vote. So we need to remain laser focused on getting everybody to the polls. Like, this should be priority #1 for every citizen who wants to see democracy continue.
