Is voting the answer, though?

Option 1: Trump loses and accuses fraud. He is believed by millions of people with both guns and institutional support, thanks to the Republican party's acceptance of the Big Lie. Chaos ensues.

Option 2: Trump wins and destroys the government from within.

I don't believe the 14th amendment will work, but I think it's better than those options.

As I said elsewhere, it is a given that Trump will claim it was rigged if he loses, but he won't be in the White House this time. Biden will be and will have all national security forces at his disposal. Trump will be in Mar-a-Lago (if he’s lucky) or prison (if he isn’t). A bit harder to incite another insurrection from either of those venues. How many cultists will still want to "revolt," get routed by the National Guard, and serve hard time for the twice-beaten loser?

I don’t think option 1 will be quite as effective this time, given the prison sentences already meted out. Frankly, if I was an inmate watching Trump raising funds in Mar a Lago, I’d be pretty pissed.

Those inmates may be the reason Trump & Palin’s invocations of massive protests and civil war are not likely to come to pass.

Esp knowing that he ISN’T, and WILL NOT, pay their legal fees.

How is he going to become president though? Option 1 was that he loses and declares fraud. Presuming Kamala doesn't appoint herself Queen, President Joe is going to be in charge of all the federal levers of power. Their little mob attack didn't work with POTUS on their side, I can't see them even trying will Sleepy Dark Brandon in the Whitehouse.

I thought you were made of sterner stuff. I'm just poking fun at the idiot trumpsters with both comments. ;)

IF. And that is relying on Trump keeping his word. 😬

He will probably set a fee for pardoning them
