    Is he baiting by saying that by next election america will be in such good shape that both choices will be good? Or is he seriously dogwhistling for the pro-dictator crowd?

      It isn’t dogwhistling. He’s just coming right out and saying it.

        I mean I think it’s important to analyze his plausible deniability tactics. He didn’t literally say, “I will cancel the 2028 elections”, he made a vague threat that “you won’t have to vote”.

        We need to shut these arguments down because Fox will definitely use them to defend Trump and normalize authoritarian policies.
