In all odds I think by the midterms we'll have seen:

* A massive recession as a result of tariffs, job losses, pullback in federal spending (e.g,. on infrastructure), and general economic uncertainty. * A significant public health crisis (see measles in Texas for example) * Russia continuing to wage war on Ukraine, and possibly further conflicts around the world as the US withdraws from international peacekeeping.




Historically, authoritarian regimes have handled setbacks like these by scapegoating target minorities and other undesirables.
