Although your villains are cartoonish in many ways, it won't be easy to get rid of them. I can't see them allowing midterms, they are now even more in the position of needing to stay in power to stay out of jail. It will actually take decades to undo the damage

Oh yeah, I'm just thankful they're not more competent. Midterms will be the Rubicon, no? Honestly, I think they're more likely to go the rigging route than outright not having them, that'd be too easy of a point to rally resistance around. This country still managed elections amidst a civil war, world wars, and pandemics, so any attempt to justify canceling midterms is going to ring hollow, and besides, there's such a long history of voter suppression here for them to lean on. Decades, or longer, which seems all too appropriate coming on the 250th anniversary of this country.
Voter suppression and rigging will be the chosen route. That's how the Afrikaner nationalists came to power here: voting was gerrymandered until the rural vote carried more weight than the city vote
