we need to stop giving this oxygen
we’ve been over and over it
and it’s been gamed out every way the smart people can think of (lgf)

unless he wins reelection, his term ends on 1/20/21 at 12:00 noon
even if no one else is sworn in
there is no mechanism for him to ‘stay in office’ / refuse to leave

if the election is anywhere close, he would have to make many, many legal challenges - not just ‘one’. Because there is not just one election. They are administered by states and run by counties (where the counting takes place)

There is an extra legal mechanism; Trump simply refuses to leave, and armed branches of the federal government back him up. Then we potentially have a civil war.
