"Something far out of the norm is likely to happen. Probably more than one thing. Expecting otherwise will dull our reflexes." I shout this on here every day, but here is an important checkmark man also saying it. Wake TF up, #PollyannaDems. #DoSomething

And this isn't even *all* the scenarios, this is only the ones where they exploit ambiguities in election law to, say, send competing slates of electors, or run out the clock to throw it to the House, where 26 red states outnumber blues. There are worse things that can happen.
Pundits and #PollyannaDems treat it like a joke that Trump accuses our party of treason. Maybe it is a joke if you live in a castle with your own security guards and would never be caught dead at a protest for this democracy. But for regular Dems it's a serious threat.
It's not all doom and gloom though. The ray of hope is that the power of mass peaceful civil disobedience, like in Belarus, is in our hands, and none of the models can predict what effect that would have. It's our one shot, the one it always comes down to for any people anywhere.
