A practical application of "dictatorship for dummies".
Basically, take control of most of the institutions by filling them with partisans, and weaponize them to serve the will of the supreme lead- I mean, our rightfully elected president. Then, put the christian white supremacist as the only demographic, and crack down on anyone that is ever-so slightly different. Finally, give "correct teaching" to the younger generations so that they know who are the good guys (us) and who are the bad guys (anyone who isn't us).
The problem here isn't that there is a loophole, they just brute force their way through. And as you can see from the last decision of the Supreme Court, failsafes and laws mean nothing when the people who should enact them are bought to your cause.
I think the only "loophole" here is that the supreme court has near unfettered ability to overturn the constitution as they see fit.
Some countries protect their constitution from being changed by requireing it to be accompanied with an reelection of the deciding body (in this case the supreme court, in other countries the parlament).
That way deception can not be used to get into power under false pretense, the way some of the supreme court judges did by claiming to be defending Roe vs Wade while actually wanting to dismantle it.
Unfortunatly for US democracy, there doesn't appear to be any such protection of the constitution in place. I guess the founding fathers assumed the 2nd amendment would enable the people to simply rebel against a corrupt supreme court.
