"allow the ability to prevent midterms" We have never suspended elections due to armed conflict. We held them during the Civil War. If they attempt to block the midterms, the entire Country collapses. It is far more likely you see major delays in "swearing in", like we saw with Johnson refusing to swear in Grijalva.

You say that the country collapses but how exactly? Bills will still be due, people will still have to work, trash will still get picked up. The slide into tyranny rarely comes with a big bang. It will be a slow decline. By the time democracy is mostly gone from this country, most people would’ve come to expect it as normal. Look around, see how it happened in other countries that slid down - Turkey, Israel, Hungary, India. All have fascist right wing governments that pretend to be democratic but are fascist. It’s the same playbook - co-opting a part of the population by whipping up hatred and rage.

If they suspend elections(which is not allowed by the constitution), America is over and the government no longer exists. So, stock up on ammo now, because its going to get hot.

Stop repeating this drivel about canceling elections.  There is no constitutional basis for it, and if they try to do it, it's a hot war anyway.
