It terms of the literal reading of the thread title, I think that once the court battles are over and the election is officially stolen, its out of the Democrats hands, and will depend either on the role of individuals in power (i.e. Biden) or more general resistance movements.

As far as how it would turn out, I’ve been reading @Frodo’s [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-fear-im-about-to-lose-my-country/991926/654) about the right wing take over of Argentina as a sort of preview of what we can expect.
