"Consistent with the Constitution, I mean."

The problem is that the Constitution expects honest elections to be held by each state, thus the Constitution has no method for addressing the problem. Thus far, the parties that "should" be addressing the problem (state legislatures) have refused to do so.

Congress could, of course, impeach Biden and Harris, but given the RINO population in the Congress, that remedy is unlikely.

I think that's right. There are no "steps," immediate or otherwise, available to redress what is perceived to have been comprised elections in certain states in 2020. So, the question is, does Trump not know this?

I’ve been thinking about this issue. It seems it is pretty much a given from instructions you might get with a new appliance, to the rules for a game like chess, to the laws for running a government; they can all describe how something is to be operated in a proper way, or how the game is to be played, but once people decide to willfully violate the rules there are too many possibilities to cover to try and contain their behavior. And by the very nature of what they are doing, they’re willfully violating the rules of the game.

Ultimately laws or rules will only work if it’s mutually agreed by all parties to follow the rules. Once that contract is broken, everything falls. The trust is broken. All that is left is barbarism.

Much the same happened in Ancient Rome. There was a set of laws which governed the Republic. Then laws were subverted. Then the rule of laws was replaced by the rule of man and a succession of emperors with numerous intervening civil wars to grab control. A reversion to a more primitive tribal form of rule by might.
