The theory goes that:
> a) 'rona made it trivial to just mail in giant sacks of blatantly fraudulent ballots and claim whatever, and that cover doesn't exist this year.
> b) The public and the campaign now understands that the courts are useless, understands how fraud is carried out, and that it must be stopped at the source. For the first time, we will see what happens when everyone understands that any dirty tricks during the ballot counting process are permanent once they go through, and the only way to get a first world election is to shut them down the second they try something, physically (a la the Brooks Brothers Riot) if necessary.
> c) The GOP understands that it will cease to exist entirely if a second rigged election is allowed. The first time around, they believed that it could be a one-off, Trump would go away, and they could run Tim Scott next time and be fine. The neocons are fine burning the party now that they've captured the DNC, but the functionaries don't want to be unemployed.
You can argue how legitimate these are, but that is the public's line of thought. For our purposes, the potential outcomes are as follows:
> Clear Trump victory; rigging is prevented:
The system destroys itself in a fit of rage. Maybe someone competent emerges from the administration and manages the collapse such that things don't turn out as bad as the Balkans.
> Clear Trump victory (a la 2020); rigging occurs in the dead of night:
Likely outbreaks of actual violence, total collapse of legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Foreign countries see an opening (moreso than now), and rush to further weaken USG interests abroad. U.S. unlikely to remain intact.
> Dems (somehow) skate through with a pretense of legitimacy; no overt need to rig the election
Things get much worse, left is emboldened, right is demoralized. Potential for a South Africa - style ongoing collapse until the dollar finally breaks. Political purges intensify out of paranoia at the lack of a major reaction, if you were right wing on mainstream social media without a good proxy in 2016, you might share Ricky Vaughn's fate. "Refugees" will be used to make any neighborhood you can afford uninhabitable - you will never be able to raise a family.
