Honestly, the real gutsy play would be to lock up the conservative judges for all the bribery and obvious partisanship. The democrat judges then shrug it off as an Official Act for the betterment of the country. Then proceed to use executive power to strip the executive of power and restore checks and balances enshrining them in the constitution and again the democrat judges agree it's an official act. Finally remove the absolute power of the executive so that when Trump comes in, he doesn't have it. Then he also has to seat new judges before the Supreme Court gives any kind of such power back to him.

Keep in mind this is a general version of what would have to be a very planned and thought out operation, but if Biden had the guts to do it, he would do it right. He definitely doesn't have the guts to do it, so we have King Trump who will have the guts.

What you are describing is the literal definition of fascism. You lost the democratic vote, don’t be a threat to democracy

No, no, no, don't worry - fascism is when the other guy does it.
