First rule of shutting down a bullshitter: reject the entire premise of his argument.

If you start arguing specific details of his overall premise, you're giving credence to his premise.

Trump obviously can't magically overturn the election results. Stop speaking as if he can.
When a bullshitter threatens to do something that's laugh out loud impossible, you're not being "vigilant" by taking it seriously. You're being gullible. You're giving him leverage that he didn't already have. Don't be a sucker like that. Please. We can't afford that.
The fatalists and gullible types on our side spent the election insisting that Trump would win "no matter what." Well guess what? They were wrong, because those types are ALWAYS wrong. Now they're doing it again. Once again, we have to work around these types of dummies.
