1. With domestic enemies seeking to end democracy, these are words to remember:
"Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror, which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."
2. Why is Trump threatening the democracy? Because he can instill fear and fear deters voting. That fear is our greatest enemy.

3. We're vulnerable to the Kremlin directed propaganda because the process of US transition of power is arcane and unknown to most Americans. One thing: It doesn't happen in court. Discrete ballot related issues arise but time does not favor ongoing litigation.
4. SCOTUS does not pick the winner, Congress does. So every time the media amplifies this particular Trump "big lie" they advertently suppress turnout because the TV hosts don't know the law and practice of Presidential elections.
5. If it's jammed up on January 6th when Congress meets to count the electoral votes, then at noon on January 20, the Speaker of the house becomes the 46th POTUS. And anyone who takes up arms against that transfer is a traitor and a seditious conspirator.
