Well now, you're just being "cute" again.
My position is that we will wind up with elections that will never be won by a majority of the people ever again.

People will vote in droves the first few times, but after a while it will dawn on them that no matter how large the majority win happens to be, fifteen or more state houses will just summarily overturn election results in their states and the election will go to their predetermined winners, and even if they fail to manipulate successfully, they'll simply refuse to certify the election and claim "VOTER FRAUDZ!" and SCOTUS will scuttle the tally and the winner will be selected by "Ginni Thomas".

And after a while a majority of people will realize that their vote doesn't really count after all and eventually this whole "election" business will resemble a ShamWow commercial, and the idea of voting will be an embarrassing joke at their expense.
And slowly but surely the way we live will be gradually controlled by a tiny but well funded and powerful group of White Christian Nationalists. Most people won't notice it at first, but gradually we will begin to see a larger and larger bunch of people who are marginalized and muted.

Not a bang, not an explosion, or implosion, the world won't end as Greger insists I'm claiming.
Just the whimper of what once was a long time ago, fading into the fog of memory.

And if all doesn't satisfy the Christian Nationalists, or if the marginalized majority makes too much trouble, they'll just cease to matter anymore, like the folks in Florida who were told they could vote after their criminal convictions were expunged, only to get arrested for doing so.

Little by little, poco a poco, by degrees.
