there will be.

What makes you think so? Your government is actively fascist and I'm not hearing of anything resembling effective resistance three months into this shit. At this rate they will shut down or irreparably rig elections likely before the midterms and definitely before the general.

Because generally, modern authoritarian regimes hold faux elections. So there will be elections. They'll just likely be rigged.

Agree, no way they will just cancel elections. They will just fix them and lie about it like Putin and Lukashenko do, or if they can't they'll at least try like Orbán and Vučić.
