He has stated he will be a dictator. The Senate flipped Republican and there is a good chance the house will too.

With total control of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, all they have to do is repeal the filibuster (very easy), and they have complete unchecked control.

They will obviously start with things that are not as bad, but they're not going to want to give up their power, and in 2 years there is a zero percent chance elections will be held democratically. They might appear democratic, but they'll resemble "elections" in Russia.
