“If they fail to certify his win, it’ll be obvious we cannot vote our way out of this dictatorship. So it’ll be civil war.”
Civil War is doubtful. Submission is more likely. The American people today do not value the liberty their forefathers fought to realize and protect. In my life time the country has voluntarily given up its position as the leading manufacturing nation, energy independence, God in public life, the best public education system on the planet, public safety, integrity of citizenship, and any shared sense of morality. The youth of this nation are no longer willing to volunteer in numbers sufficient to staff the military. Nearly 1/3 of the nation is on some form of public assistance.
Those on the Right politically will be cast as bands of armed and dangerous terrorists, operating with Russian backing. Hard to see how we win such a battle under the current reality.
