This could very likely happen here if Trump is elected president in 2025:
This is what we can expect to see in November 2028, if Trump wins this election. In fact, I would even venture to say that it would be even more (and bigger) here, given that we have experienced Democracy for 247 years and if we suddenly get autocracy/tyranny, we probably not only see protests but see blood running down in every street in the entire country.
Is this what you want?
Russian voters, answering Navalny’s call, protest Putin’s forever rule
MOSCOW — On the final day of a presidential election with only one possible result, Russians protested Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian hold on power by forming long lines to vote against him at noon Sunday. Voting took place over three days, beginning Friday, which some critics said would allow greater opportunity for ballot manipulation and other fraud. Voting was also taking place in areas of Ukraine occupied by the Russian military, with reports of electoral teams accompanied by soldiers forcing people to vote at gunpoint. In 27 Russian regions and two in occupied Ukraine, voters can also use a widely criticized opaque online voting system, with no way to verify votes or guard against tampering.
In Russia’s climate of political fear, protests are largely symbolic, with authorities expected to maintain tight control in the months ahead. It is difficult to stage any form of protest in wartime Russia. Authorities swiftly disperse even small street gatherings and have cracked down mercilessly on activist and opposition groups. Citizens have been arrested for laying flowers at memorials for Navalny, and some have been detained for standing alone holding up blank sheets of paper.
