We only live in a single-party dictatorship now if the electoral system has been subverted by Trump as well. It's not clear if that's the case yet; I guess we'll see when November 2026 rolls around. If Democrats retake control of one or both houses of Congress, I think that would be decent evidence that the system is still working, even if it's damaged.
Of course, if the GOP retains control, we can't really say much either way, unless there is strong, incontrovertible evidence of enough voter suppression or fraud that would swing the election.
So we'll see. I'm not ready to give up on the US just yet, for all its faults.
