The thread is gibberish

There is no mechanism for a "do over" of a presidential election; we covered that in 2017

Elections can be delayed by any given state, but only briefly

The Electoral College will vote on 12/14, Congress will count on 1/6, Trump's term ends 1/20 @ 12pm https://twitter.com/samesorbet/status/1288908518729437184
Correct, and correct https://twitter.com/robxlii/status/1288912352793026560
"The Government" will want to avoid their decisions being invalidated and being jailed for contempt of court, which is what would happen if Trump loses but they pretend otherwise. There will be a great many lawsuits, in addition to Ds running Congress https://twitter.com/samthegeek/status/1288911571100536837
As I said back in 2017, unprecedented does not mean unaddressable by constitutional means
The judiciary has its own police force

Any business subject to a regulation enacted or on the losing end of any agency decision anywhere would sue to have it undone b/c an illegitimate President can't lawfully make appointments or regs

We've got a vast government apparatus at multiple levels that goes beyond the person who occupies the Presidency

The vast supermajority of them can be easily jailed

The bureaucracy will fall in line

Agreed, it's unhinged https://twitter.com/dmschmeyer/status/1288926911083601921
No. It's unhinged lunacy. It would be like asking me to provide specific criticisms of someone who did a 20-tweet thread on why the sky is green with pink unicorn-shaped clouds https://twitter.com/jaysonsunshine/status/1288933955392045056
Correct https://twitter.com/shawnl/status/1288946706286022660
Precisely right https://twitter.com/ef21345/status/1288917853996036102
Whether Trump and his inner circle follow the law is almost irrelevant – what matters is everyone else in the bureaucracy, the people without political patrons who end up jailed for not following the law https://twitter.com/kendysharles/status/1289062724840890369
As noted earlier in the thread, the judiciary has its own police force https://twitter.com/kendysharles/status/1289244234931937280
Not counting the Post Office, there are 2,100,000+ employees in the federal bureaucracy, plus 2,400,000+ military personnel

Trump "has spent 3 1/2 years gutting" almost none of them, because they're protected by the Civil Service Act and other laws https://twitter.com/surfchicken16/status/1289207276020969473
Look, if it makes y'all feel better to spin elaborate and nonsensical conspiracy theories about all the ways Donald Trump will stay in office in January, be my guest

I'm just gonna assume y'all are at least as stupid as the Rs who insisted Obama was going to take a 3rd term
Not at all, it just gets tiring having people insist things that aren't going to happen will magically happen this time because someone else somewhere did a thread saying it could

It's like the "Revote 2016" scam everyone was on, before it got dismissed https://twitter.com/haik65/status/1289248432389943298
This is a rather selective view of the past 4 years. Trump has been blocked from doing a large number of things after court losses https://twitter.com/sprockethouse/status/1289249373671419906
There have been entire stories across multiple news outlets counting how many times Trump has been shot down by the courts

Here's 2019, for example:
➡️ https://www.propublica.org/article/president-donald-trump-losses-fred-barbash-washington-post-q-and-a
➡️ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/the-real-reason-president-trump-is-constantly-losing-in-court/2019/03/19/f5ffb056-33a8-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html
Trump, All About Winning, Sees Losses in Court Pile Up

The president has had scores of his initiatives shot down by federal judges. The Washington Post actually counted how many.

Trump's not a genius. He doesn't have some master plan.

He's just a run-of-the-mill narcissistic fascist with high name ID from being a reality TV star. His tweets about election fraud are to salve his own ego for when he loses in November.
It's like people who intentionally throw a competition because they know they're likely to lose

By not putting in maximum effort, they can tell themselves it wasn't really a loss

Trump's fraud tweets are the same sort of thing
The genuinely intelligent and malevolent fascists in Trump's orbit will be happier when he's gone, so they can line up behind a more competent strongman
Yep https://twitter.com/vgcatano/status/1289252014598234112
Believe what you want. Abramson has been mocked for his outlandish absurdities for years now

Again, this sort of hysteria is on par with Obama's 3rd term and Revote 2016 wishcasting https://twitter.com/chrispybites/status/1289252639151026176
If this were actually true, they would have prevented Democrats from taking over the House in 2018 https://twitter.com/miiobolts/status/1289252813290139648
To hear you tell it, all Biden would have to do is agree to it

https://twitter.com/sethabramson/status/1289253608492392448
And Seth's repetitiously repetitive "unprecedented!" is quaint https://twitter.com/greg_doucette/status/1288915210628194309
Idgaf if you give my dismissals any weight at all

You're lining up behind an unfalsifiable premise. When Trump loses and leaves office on schedule, the response will be "see! This didn't happen precisely because we prepared by saying it could!" https://twitter.com/scorchedhottub/status/1289254369498664960
You've spent the past 3.5 years shilling codswallop b/c you found a willing market of Dems who will follow you and buy your book and fete you for it

You ignore all the times things functioned as they should, then do "lawless!" and "glacial!" handwaving https://twitter.com/sethabramson/status/1289253967604506627
Correction: Seth Abramson isn't a law professor, he's an English professor with a law degree: https://online.unh.edu/person/seth-abramson

Either way, yeah I expected better too https://twitter.com/merz/status/1289254983586557952
It's weird b/c I've evidently struck a nerve that he's still here @'ing me repeatedly a day later 😂

I'm sure he's a not-terrible person in real life. His Twitter threads are something else https://twitter.com/tedvrac/status/1289257482775224321
