How worried are you about Jan. 6th? What scenarios are dancing about in Trump's fever dream?

[skip fox]

I know many DUers are not worried and they seem to have good reasons, but we should realize that Trump is hard at work scheming and he's a cornered rat.

In the face of Senate and House objections to five states' certified votes, could he get an Alan Dershowitz type to argue that the House of Representatives should vote per state delegation? (While leaning on the Senate.)

I don't know and would sincerely like to know how others feel and what they suspect and/or expect.

1. Not worried

but the theatrics will be interesting.

The larger issue is the Republicans will say Biden didn't win for the next four years.

2. Who is Alan Dershowitz going to argue you to? FOX or OANN

[skip fox]

3. Both if Trump has his way as well as to SCOTUS.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. If SCOTUS wouldn't hear the other cases they aren't hearing this one.

14. Right, the SC is not going to touch this with a ten ft pole. nt

[MineralMan]

4. Not at all.

It will go according to the Constitution.

[skip fox]

6. You're one of the people I listen to most closely on this.

I'm old but not wise enough to have confidence. Knowing yours is comforting.

8. Here's the thing: Democrats have a majority in the House.

Unless both houses of Congress agree on objections to electors from some state, the slate of electors sent by that state will be counted as sent.

I guarantee that the House will not agree with any objections. Period. Actually, I don't think the Senate will either.

Objections might cause a delay in the proceeding, but that's it.

7. I'm looking forward to watching the Rs make asses of themselves for all to see.

Nothing they do will change the vote. And if some fool Proud Boys want to make trouble,
they will be arrested and do time and pay fines.

[albacore]

22. Not so fast with that "arrested and pay fines" thing.

How about some baton hits and dog bites and taser-ings?

A guy can dream.....

[bluestarone]

9. Not worried one bit! BUT

i'm sure i'll be pissed at these UN-AMERICANS!! Saying this,my choice is, i still have to watch their BULLSHIT!! The best part though is THEY CANNOT DO A FUCKING THING about it!!!!

[spanone]

10. beyond the disgusting, naked fealty to trump...not at all.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Playing right into Putin's hands too. Creating chaos, destabilizing the US. nt

11. Listening to the loons in my small county.

They are trying to fill a bus to go. Several county officials are going to fly in. They desperately want a confrontation so Trump can call it an insurrection. I think there will be violence. I don't think it will work to their intended purpose, but I fear the damage they will cause.

[uponit7771]

12. After 2341234 lost court cases ... ZERO concern.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Not at all worried about Biden becoming president. This is political theater, a stunt.

But a dangerous one and a threat to our democracy.

[Turin_C3PO]

16. Completely confident

that Biden will assume the office on Jan. 20th without a hitch. What I’m pissed about is that the GOP has brainwashed 30% of the country into thinking Biden stole the election. It undermines confidence in our democracy and may have some devastating long term effects.

[Baclava]

17. Not worried for Jan 6, EC will vote Joe in, but AFTER, the final goalpost moves, Martial Law, IA

Would prob involve a war or major conflict of some kind, maybe armed groups battling it out on our streets too

[Sneederbunk]

18. My confidence lies in the fact Trump is a dumb cornered rat.

[LiberalArkie]

19. When are Warnock and Ossoff sworn in? When is a new majority leader selected?

[beachbumbob]

21. the winner won;t be certified until after Jan 6th so no chance either be sworn in if they won

[beachbumbob]

20. zero concern. The process is an administrative one that must be followed

[Fiendish Thingy]

23. Not worried. Your Dershowitz scenario is not based in reality.

There will be grandstanding and chaos, but it won’t change the outcome.

[we can do it]

24. Not worried. Tired of the endless stoking of conspiracy fires, here included.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Enough Doomporn.

We made it this far. It's virtually impossible to overturn the results now.
