I will bet you up to $1000 at 2:1 odds that in 5 years we will still have the same constitution and congress will not have been dissolved at any point.

perhaps we ought to consider banning social media for adults or maybe just dystopian movies.

Right, because there's no need to change the Constitution when you have a captured Supreme Court to help you ignore it, and no need to dissolve Congress when they've steadily made themselves less and less relevant over the past few decades.

Russia still has a constitution, a parliament, separation of powers, and an independent judiciary. It even has opposition political parties and elections.

And yet...

I do wonder about the normalization of dystopian ideas. Take even a show like Scandal. The fact that one of the big reveals is that billionaires stole the election by targeted hacking of election machines is kinda messed up.
