* If Trump wins in 2024: Expect rapid democratic backsliding, potential DOJ purges, and increased criminalization of opposition movements.
* If Biden wins but GOP controls Congress: Stagnation, further attacks on institutions like DEI, and state-level authoritarian policies.
* If DEI bans spread to blue states: Indicates wider ideological shift toward government-enforced conservatism.

====== - If Republican victories continue: U.S. could resemble Hungary or Russia, with controlled media, ideological suppression, and weakened democratic institutions. ======

* If technological surveillance expands: Mass AI-driven political repression becomes likely.

====== - If authoritarianism is unchecked: U.S. could move into soft fascism, with restricted freedoms and surveillance-backed oppression. ======
