They can, and will certainly try. The best way to stop that is to ensure the Republicans don’t get that power.
So Biden should pack the courts with justices that will declare an election in Trump’s favor invalid?
I suspect that civil war lies that way. Winning the election would probably be a better approach. Neither Biden nor trump have many years left, and I suspect neither will contest the next election. Once trump is no longer running the republican show I think/hope there is a chance that the cult of personality around him will fall apart and they’ll be able to drift back towards a sane position over time, which should make things a little safer.
Violence from the right toward the left is already happening. All that’s needed for a civil war is shooting back.
The next election WILL NEVER BE BETTER. That is pure wishful thinking.
How many more of these goddamn elections are we going to have to write off as lame, but “regrettably necessary” holding actions? And how many more of these stinking double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote for something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?

It has been like this since well before either of us were alive, and it will be this way until climate change kills us all unless we stop believing the grand lie of electoralism and realize that politics happens more than once every four years.
