This is sort of an open question to anyone listening.

How long do you think the US can keep the GOP out of winning the presidency if nothing changes politically?

In the past 100 years the longest a political party has held office has been two presidents. So even if Joe Biden wins this next election there is a high probability the Republicans will win eventually.

What happens then?

Edit: Corrected mistake.

The cycle continues.

Worst case scenario it leads to a death spiral

Best case scenario they keep each other in check to maintain the system, but not much will change

The GOP has plans to implement a fascist takeover of the government if they get in power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

I don't think things can stay the same.

Either they eventually win and implement this plan.

Or our political system is overhauled so it isn't likely that they win ever again.

Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U. S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U. S. presidential election.
