So, 2020 has made me not trust anything. Is there any chance at all right now that

Trump can stay in office? Through shenanigans with the Electoral College? Through State Legislatures? Through the Courts? Through the Supreme Court? Through ballots being thrown out? Any way at all?

Assuming that the Electoral College announces Joe Biden the winner (Which I think is likely), Joe becomes President on January 20th and at 12:01 Donald Trump becomes a trespasser on federal property.

I can’t get out of my mind the way Hitler came to power. Remember he was convicted of treason and served time prior to becoming Chancellor. It helped him with his cultish followers. Trump is evil enough and his enablers are power hungry enough that this isn’t an unreasonable explanation to what’s going on.
