Doomsday Scenarios about January 20 and January 6 Are a Waste of Time

68. I am not worried about Biden-Harris being prevented from taking office

I am worried that this is a Republican dress-rehearsal for denying Democratic winners down the line from taking office. A majority of Congress knows what a nut case Trump is, and wants him gone. Democrats want him gone because he is awful, and Republicans want him gone because he is damaging their brand except in areas with nut case concentration. Obviously there is little hope in the short term or medium term for a state that prefers Tommy Tuberville to Doug Jones.

But at some point, there will be a malevolent but intelligent Republican (Cheney, e.g.) who may lose a close election, but have the votes in Congress to reverse a five point loss, if played right. This theater being played out this year isn't being put on by people who think they can prevent Biden from becoming president. It is being played out by people who are experimenting with ways of preventing someone like him from ever becoming president AGAIN.
