Key problems with Republican Party's anti-republic conspiracy theories: they are easily disproved and lack internal consistency (i.e., they don't even make sense).
Republicans spent Obama presidency trying to delegitimize presidency w/ birther movement, but that was led by pathetic talk-show host
Republicans will spend Biden presidency trying to delegitimize presidency w/ hodgepodge of bullshit but this will be led by pathetic ex-president

Does not matter how easy the conspiracies are to debunk, or how absurdly inconsistent & gibberish they are: fact ex-president will be leading them, backed by Republican leadership, distributed by robust media networks is concerning for US.
Cannot just ignore this threat to republic, will be important for mainstream media, Democratic leaders, and stray Republicans who have not drunk the Kool-Aid to continue to make clear their belief in republic over autocracy, and need for rule-of-law.
Best way to address Republican anti-republic conspiracies is to avoid repeating their claims, but instead to affirm support for, and confidence in, things they are attempting to destroy.
