General Discussion

There's no path to do what you're worried about. And the signs are more that they know they will lose. Why would they further gerrymander if they could fix the elections? Why do they keep losing elections this year if they can fix elections?

If they cancel elections (which they can't as others have explained), Trump's term along with the House, and a third of the Senate still ends at noon on January 20th.

The reason Republicans are going along with Trump is they are afraid of being primaries. That dam might break after the 2026 elections much as George W Bush became persona non grata late in his term.

And all of this doesn't account for Trump finally succumbing to any of his unhealthy habits.

But the biggest thing I would suggest is to find a thing to take your mind off of things. Go volunteer with some cause meaningful to you where you can see the results in the short term. Even the 2026 elections are a long way away. It helps to see immediate good. Because yes things look bad with the evil incompetence of the Trump administration, but there's still so much good out there.
