      Dems put up a fight by drafting people. The fractured police force randomly decides between arresting people who don't engage in civil war and entrapping/brutalizing people who agree. National guard on both sides of a batallion pushing people forward or resisting people who never wanted to fight for Biden in the first place. Dems are priced out of penicillin for war time diseases, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the bacteria the millions of people are infected with are antibiotic resistant. COVID mutates to effect animals and factory farms overflow with cow mucus and food supplies plummet. People begin to starve.

      Millions die, the dems lose, and Trump gets 4 more years before abdicating to Trump Jr.

    Biden Wins, everyone goes back to pretending that everything isn't completely fucked.

    Society continues it's slide into some kind of technocratic oligarchy where Elon Musk is legally allowed to hunt man for sport, but the libs are okay with it because he has a black woman as his gun caddy

      I was going to type up a long post but it's basically this. Trump is facing prison once he's out. There's no fucking way he just leaves.

    Biden dies before election Kamala Harris adds Michelle Obama to the ultimate girlboss ticket. Kamala wins and fascist terror campaigns break out across America. In an attempt to stop domestic unrest America starts it's decennial deathmarch towards whatever weak target they can find while America burns.

      Prior to the election, Harris would not become the de facto nominee, the DNC would be have to vote on a new nominee. In all likelihood, they would probably choose Harris, but they have the ability to choose anyone they wanted as the replacement candidate.

      After the election, the vice-president elect automatically assumes the role of president elect.

    Shit is fucked. The election is in shambles. The DNC is accusing Trump's shutting down of several polling sites due to safety concerns as stealing the election. The GOP accuses the DNC of using mail-in ballots to steal the election.

    The electors are gathered together into a hotel in Wichita. After a welcome reception and a few presentations by the electoral assembly sponsors, the electors make a unified decision for the good of the country.

    It's Bloomberg

      Guaido then declares himself interim president. Bernie decides to fight for Guaido, because "it's better than Bloomberg, right? Why isn't the dirtbag left happy about this?"

    Biden wins, dies in two years, Kopmala takes over and rules for ten years. The Democratic party moves even further right, meaning that whatever Hitler Youth wins in 2032 turns America into an even worse fascist hellscape than it already is.

      Not American, can a VP turned P be elected for two more full terms? Does it work the other way around? Could Obama have been picked as Biden's VP?

        They can only serve up to 10 years. So if Biden dies 1 year in she can only get 1 more term. If he dies two years in she gets 2.

        Obama can't be VP because the VP has to be eligible to be President.

        Can a VP turned P be elected for two more full terms?

        Presidents are limited (by Constitutional Amendment passed after FDR won a third election) to being elected to two full terms. A term is four years, so the max in that case would be 8 full years. However, if you are a vice president and take over the presidential office more than half-way through the term, you are allowed to complete that term without it counting to the maximum you can serve. So in the (traditionally held) maximum scenario, a VP would assume the presidency two years into a term, then serve 2 full terms afterwards, for a total of 10 years. This hasn't actually practically happened, but it's possible.

        There's perhaps some nightmare scenario where a few people can shuffle themselves in and out of the office without serving full terms but that would require a lot of coordination and at that point you might as well just rip up the Constitution anyway.

        Could Obama have been picked as Biden’s VP?

        Probably not, but it depends on the interpretation. The 22nd amendment (the one from above) limits presidents from being elected more than twice, but technically doesn't limit becoming president through the line of succession. Some would interpret the 12th amendment, which originally set up the procedure for President/VP elections, as saying that anyone who is ineligible couldn't be president, thus superseding the technicality argument. But ultimately this is a grey area that would have to be challenged and then decided by the Supreme Court. Since no one has tried, we don't really have a definitive answer.

        With that being said, there doesn't seem to be anything barring Obama from serving in a role that's on the presidential order of succession, he would just be passed over if that succession came into play. A real example is Mitch McConnell's wife as Transportation Security Secretary, which would include her in the succession order, but since she's Chinese she just passed over for the next person in line. So if Obama wanted to, say, run for a House seat and become Speaker, he would totally be able to and just (probably) not be included within the order of succession. So I don't think there's anything barring Obama from running as Biden's VP or assuming the office, it's just that the most important job of a VP is being first in line when the President dies/resigns.

        Obama as a VP would create a legal challenge which would likely result in him retaining the office of the VP, but not being allowed to step in as President. Since the next person in line is the Speaker of the House (who could change parties every two years instead of four for president) could potentially be from the opposite party, so it's within the political interest of the parties to have an unquestionable immediate successor in place.

    Biden dies in late october, amidst spiraling and increasingly fascist aligned Police violence. Kamala promises a strongly pro-police "return to order" alienating the minority faction of the dems, while the Republicans do the same.

    Plummeting dem turnout, interference with mail ballots, and Covid results in a narrow, possibly fraudulent Trump victory.

    Trump has a heart attack and dies in December from incompetence by a strongly liberal doctor.

    As the country falls into civil war, and cities begin to peel off from the State and federal governments to one side or another, Mike Pence takes over and forms an emergency military administration.
