The year is 2040. Donald Trump is still president.

Everyone further to the right than John McCain has been executed. That includes Don Jr. The president went on a thirteen tweet tirade about it when it happened, and vowed that there would be "consequences". There weren't.
The last time the Republicans held a majority in either house was 2024. This was also the last year that Trump did literally anything, when he somehow pushed through a constitutional amendment to eliminate term limits.
Every four years they hold an election, same as always. But every four years, as soon as the Dem nominee is picked, Trump starts laying into them, and no one ends up wanting to vote for them. Every candidate is "the worst possible pick."

Voter turnout is at record lows.
Despite holding the presidency, Trump is an Emmanuel Goldstein type figure. Every school teacher, journalist, civil servant, librarian, waiter, everyone, considers him to be absolutely vile and one second away from committing genocide for more than 2 decades.
The left eventually realized that Trump was the perfect person to have in power:
He talks a big game, which gets their side fired up, active, and actually doing things, but he never follows through. His side never does anything because they "trust the plan."
Under Trump, they've been able to gain control of all the last vestiges of power they had previously been lacking.

People live under what amounts to communism yet say "hey, at least it's not communism."
There are no freedom fighters, glorious crusaders, or ragtag bands of rebels. There are a few people left, scattered around the world, who managed to survive by being REALLY GOOD at hiding their power levels.
The last man with a gun sits alone in his cabin in America. There is a knock on the door.

Three minutes of robotic violence, controlled by trans* POC hundreds of miles away, later, and there are no more men with guns in America.
Trump sends out a tweet:

"It's just terrible what they did to that Patrick Casey guy. Just awful. If the military doesn't stop slaughtering Trump supporters, there's gonna be big trouble!"
(Bill Mitchell does a four hour podcast on what a great response to the situation Trump's tweet is)
