I think the next step is just to jail anybody who might vote against him.

IDK why you are grey right now because his statements reported by CNN are basically a purging of the opposition party.

The entire reason he declared martial law was to eliminate the opposition.

Given the economics of that, it seems like it'd be pretty ineffective. It'd be easier to simply postpone elections indefinitely

That is what martial law is all about: pausing democratic norms to deal with an emergency. Voting, public gatherings, a free internet ... it is open season.

What a time to be alive to see several major democracies in decline or turmoil all within the same time window.
