    imho, considering the extremely wide range of immunity the supreme court has already given to the executive, Biden would only have to declare the results certified himself - he wouldn’t even need to declare martial law, much less file a lawsuit.

    it’s fucking deranged, but that’s where we’re at.

      The immunity thing doesn’t give the president full power over everything. It just means the president can’t be held accountable for crimes they commit for “official reasons”.

      Biden can’t just dictate whatever he wants. The avenue for dictator power is via using that immunity to remove political opponents or incite mobs to do it for him.

      Which Trump will do, if he gets in it will go from 0-100 during that first week, he probably already has a list of people that need to be removed and will use the reaction to that list to make the next list, with the goal of removing as much institutional support as he can for the insurrection that will follow once the masses realize just how serious things are.
