The play will be to generate accusations of fraud to the point that Newsmax-pilled legislators will say, “we can’t determine who won and so are being forced to pick, and we choose the people making the false accusations of fraud”
I think people shouldn't discount the extent to which a massive number of legislators who are going to attempt this *genuinely* believe that the last presidential election was stolen, and that they are in the right both legally and morally, and that history will vindicate them if they do this.
I have no idea how to counter that level of delusion/brainwashing, but I also have no idea how it can go on like this much longer without devolving into an actual shooting war.
