We get it. Nothing short of Republicans firing on Ft. Sumter is cause for concern.
Republicans firing on Ft. Sumter would be a pretty big 180
What I am trying to get across to you is that your understanding of what is driving the U. S. political situation is fundamentally out of sync with the main drivers. That means you are underestimating the risks here.

“It’s all words” applies to me, not to legislators, attorney generals or courts—their “words” are how we’re ruled. https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1337470383205855234 …

I get it, three coups before breakfast and another for lunch. But I bet you the formal Electoral College vote on Monday goes on unimpeded and without a fuss, and on through the swearing in and so on
You have a very weird definition of "without a fuss."
The fuss here is political theater targeted at a specific audience. When I go to see a play and someone gets shot in Act IV, my decision about whether to call 911 is going to depend very heavily about whether it takes place on stage or out in the audience.
It's not "political theater" to convince 70+ million people that their electoral victory was stolen, their votes nullified, through outright fraud, led by the guy about to be sworn in with the cooperation even of some Republicans.
Or you have a very strange definition of "political theater."
I contend that that's the very essence of political theater. It has no chance of achieving its ostensible aim, but is a orchestrated performance in front of the 45% or whatever it is of American voters who will now believe this in perpetuity, and vote accordingly next time.
