What he’s promising is a system like that in Russia, where there are still elections, but peoples’ votes no longer determine who will hold power. In short a managed democracy where the consent of the governed is no longer material.

    Charitably, I think from the context that Trump was saying “you won’t have to vote after this election, since I won’t be running and I don’t give a shit about you or anyone else that comes after me.”

    But less charitably, this motherfucker instigated Jan 6, and he’ll absolutely try to overthrow democracy again. Fuck this guy.
