I will acknowledge Republicans who vote to certify the electors from all 50 states next week.

However much I might detest some of them, and strongly disagree with virtually all of the rest of them, I will accept that they belong to an American opposition political party. Those who vote to throw out electors from some States that Biden won (conveniently just enough to "swing the election" to Trump) I will henceforth consider to belong to an organized conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States of America. They will be no more American than Jefferson Davis and Robert E.Lee were after the South succeeded from the United States of America at the start of the Civil War.

I will leave it to future leaders and statesmen to determine whether their prior status as Americans duly sworn to uphold our Constitution can at least partially be restored after some kind of Truth and Reconciliation process is completed, but at least until such time I will view them as traitors, period.
