Is Democracy in the US over in a week?
Will the Republicans win and make it harder for Democrats to vote in 2024. Make it impossible to have a free and fair election?

Harder maybe. Let's not get into hyperbole with impossible, please.
Plenty of Republicans can and do rationally argue that it's too easy to vote, e.g., voter ID laws, and I don't see a solution to D'Souza and folks buying crap like Pelosi's attack being a false flag thing or a homosexual encounter gone bad happening overnight.
We're not going to completely stop voter intimidation or disqualification any more then we're going to completely prevent "fraudulent" voting.
I think they're both admirable goals, but in practice, not every single good vote will ever be counted, nor will every single bad one be weeded out.

@Pitchblue
My issue is with the stuff in bold:
Republicans will run elections and if they are not favorable they won't honor the outcome. The Republicans are trying to end voting. Once in power they will make laws to disqualify as many people from voting as they can.
Fox can make a headline out of stuff like this and make It look like Democrats are extremists and liars.

@Pitchblue I think it is more realistic.
Keep in mind, they'll still probably say you're speculating about what they will do in the future based on what they've done in the past, and still bring up Hillary, Abrams and Gore.
But at least, you've kept a better grip on the high ground without saying they want to stop voting entirely.
I don't really see any support for that, even with the whole independent legislature thing and making actual votes irrelevant.
