It's about legal timing, at which HitlerPig is a virtuoso, due to plenty of practice. If he declares Martial Law too early, he gives the courts time to rule against him when he suspends the election, which is the primary objective.
So he will use the next year and a few months to keep amping up the rhetoric, the atrocities, the violence, until it is out of control next summer. He'll allow the primary race to go on, giving MAGA the opportunity to spread their propaganda, and finally cancel the election only a few weeks before.
Until then, it's all about escalation.
Also, next summer is July 4 2026- a nice round 250 years since July 4 1776. So I don't know what's planned but I would be surprised if it's nothing. Then in November the midterm elections, which really are the test of whether their whole Project 2025 revolution succeeds or fails. If the system continues to work as usual, Republicans lose control of congress. If not, everyone realizes we've already had our last free and fair election and the fix is in for 2028 too. So that's going to be an interesting four months.
I don't foresee any elections getting cancelled. Russia has 'elections'. North Korea has 'elections...' What I do see happening is "Antifa" getting officially designated as a terrorist organization, and using AI to mass analyze who is probably an "antifa member " and enough of them being detained around the election in all the right counties to ensure that Democrats can't win.
Interesting points. HitlerPig is planning a big birthday celebration for himself, complete with military parade, but they haven't said a word about what should be an enormous national celebration next year.
I do think they will suspend elections, because our elections are too separated. We don't have one election, we have 50. Russia, NK, etc. only have a single election to rig, and the guy at the top controls it. I'm positive MAGA rigged the last one, but they had the help of the richest tech Oligarch in the world, and at least one foreign leader, all of whom were working toward that for years, and they were only trying to control the election of a single candidate. A Congressional election would require successfully rigging hundreds of elections simultaneously. If they screw up only a handful, power shifts to the Dems, giving them investigative, subpoena, and arrest powers, and they can't have that.
Suspending elections will cause a huge, historic uproar, but it is also declares the inevitable to the world and history - America is no longer a Democratic nation, it is controlled by MAGA for all time. Just like Israel has decided that now is finally the time to clear out Gaza, MAGA believes that now is finally the time to take America for themselves.
