I believe we've seen the last election of many of our lifetimes.

After this, it will be dictator style elections: one candidate miraculously gets 99% of the vote in every race. It is the "ruling party" because they are all so beloved.

I would not be surprised if there is a push to make "Dear Leader Twittler" president for life, because he provides cover for all the most evil impulses of those who want to destroy our social fabric.
