He's beaten in the popular vote and electoral college, everyone is happy but we get the news that he appeals to the Supreme court. Slowly but surely they overrule the election. What happens?

Realistically though if there was enough "voter fraud" to throw out massive percentages of the vote, it'd be grounds to hold a second election.

Also if he wins the presidency but both houses of congress go blue, he'd be useless outside of putting more and more politically right judges in the federal courts.

The ballots are irrelevant. Once the electors cast their votes it's final unless no candidate manages to get a majority.

Trump stays president? Very implausible hypothetical

I mean, did we think that America and all the higher ups would just let a virus run free in our country amd devour us because of the leadership of one guy before? I personally thought you'd get impeached for that before this. I didn't realize just how morally bankrupt most the people in there were. I obviously knew they weren't moral. But feeding their people to a disease. I had at least some hope before this. Even if just not to make our country look as weak as it does now.

The violence against the black community and the straight disregard to their cries is more heartbreaking, but that wasn't surprising. That's been going on since forever. We knew how are government has always felt about that. It's just not important to them.

The Senate has to approve judges. A Dem Senate will stone wall him.

Except Trump has said he has plans to not accept the result of the election, as does the Supreme Court.

Trump wouldnt do that
Republicans wouldnt stoop so low, theyre not gonna stand by him on that
Wait Trump did what now??!? Wait theyre not doing anything about it?!??

Repeat over and over and over and over for 4 years.

If he hasnt accepted the results of an election he won then why the f*** does anyone expect him to honor the results of an election he lost? Hes been telling us hes not going to accept the results because its being rigged, get it through your damn skulls.

Ill be too busy shouting & crying to laugh.

Best case scenario is he leaves office and further raises hell with his rants which then leads to an increase in rightwing violence in city streets against Antifa or BLM protesters.

I'm sure it will get broken and I'm sure he will be arrested by the secret service whose job is to arrest people in the white house if they don't belong in the white house.

its so hilarious seeing people keep acting like the law matters. the USA is totally infalliable and has proven so so far in the last 4 years. barr, mcconnel, trump and his SCOTUS cronies are all totally fair people and will peacefully transfer power if they lose (even if they all repeatedly say they won't)
