hap, Basically the thing which will become clear in 2022 is the success or not of the excessive SCOTUS sanctioned Republican gerrymandering. And the success of the independent commissions in about a dozen states. In 2024 add to that whether or not Democrats are able to get over the Electoral College contribution to minority rule.
"All will come clear after Nov2022 — and then after Nov 2024 a democratic republic hap"
At least now you may think twice before wholeheartedly jumping into the 'it's a republic not a democracy' mire you've so happily swum in .
