The man attempted a coup and faced zero consequences for it. In fact, he was rewarded with a second term as president. Forgive me if I refuse to hold my breath for Democrats to do anything substantial to prevent him from wiping his ass with the Constitution.
What you aren’t mentioning is all of the corruption of SCOTUS and the Republicans at the state level that facilitated his success. The Dems did A LOT to expose them… the American people believed the lies and the state governments went along with the coup.
Please explain to me why then the states did not just ignore Scotus, or use there constitutinaly, scotus garenteed rights to determine who the state electors vote for, and order that they could not vote for trump, a thing that is allowable without saying no to the court.
and before you say that a state cannot just ignore the supreme court, need I remind you that right now the president is, and we have had it done by county clerks refusing marage licences before.
and I am asking what the hell is a law, more than words on paper we all agree to follow, If the stakes where as dire as was being said, why the hell did we stay following them, the choices where simple, use your right to direct state electors to under no circomstance cast a vote for said individual, or to contenue to follow your interpritation, the plain text of the document you say you care for and say you have an oath to. Laws do not have mystical power to force someone to follow. At the war crime trials “I was just following the law/orders” will not be a defence. Chose your side and stick to it

The laws on the state and national side would prevent such action generally speaking. POTUS is breaking laws. That simple.
