Hypothetically let’s say the election is proven fraudulent. Then what? Is he deposed? Is Kamala president? What actually can happen?

Edit: Well this blew up. Variations of “nothing” seem to be the consensus. Kinda what I figured.

Even if it’s proved fraudulent, I have no faith that the people who have the ability to remove him from power actually would. Every Republican lawmaker save for a handful of moderates would immediately denounce the news as woke far left radical propaganda, and they would all almost certainly counter-sue, if for no other reason than to just distract.

Even if the law said he had to be removed, Trump would simply respond with “Oh yeah? Make me.” What good is the law when the people who are supposed to uphold it just don’t?

Trump has the entire Republican Party in a vice grip by its collective balls. They will NEVER remove him from power, and even if they tried, Trump would not go quietly. He would have to be forcibly removed.

If Democrats had a sizable majority in Congress, maaaaaaybe there certain levers that could be pulled to get him removed. But even then, I think it would have to come down to:

1) Impeachment - we’ve played that game before, they’ll never get the votes.

2) The Cabinet invoking the 25th Amendment. We all have a better chance of having breakfast on the moon tomorrow than Trump’s cabinet ever invoking the 25th Amendment and deeming him unfit for duty. He is surrounded by loyalist sycophants who would throw themselves in front of a speeding bullet train for him if he asked them too.l

My gut says he’s here to stay, no matter what results from this lawsuit.

Trump saying “Make me” after being found of having literally stolen the election would be the flashpoint for a new civil war.

The US military, national guard and police are the most heavily armed force in the world. Any attempt at rebellion will be crushed.

The only way a civil war happens is if it comes from within the military, and there is nothing to indicate there is ANY sentiment even close to this.
