Let me make my case that 'USG is now illegitimate' short and sweet.
The marks of sovereignty are, traditionally, 'the power of life and death' -- for example, to conscript citizens to defend the Common Good and send them off to die in wars, to execute criminals...

... and secondly, the magisterial right of command (imperium) -- to lay down (constitute, as in constitutions), the legal framework, i.e. to legislate and to execute that legislation.
These are called, in Western Civilisation, 'The Two Swords of the King'...

When the Sovereign People lose the right to declare and prosecute wars -- and they have, by losing the power to elect Congress -- they have lost DOMINION.
When they have lost the power for states to sue each other in SCOTUS, and propose constitutional amendments and pass them --
When they have lost the power for states to sue each other in SCOTUS, and propose constitutional amendments and pass them --
-- and they HAVE -- then WE THE PEOPLE, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, are no longer the Sovereign, and the constitution of the State is no longer that of a Republic.
It is something else -- a tyranny ruled by a Party.
In effect, a communist dictatorship ruled by commissars.

Whatever you can say about USG, 'legitimate' is not it.
This is not a crisis *LIMITED* to the illegitimacy of Biden as a president -- it is now an ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT that has no authority (from We, The People) to fix itself.

How do we know the truth of some abstract proposition such as 'The Republic has fallen'?
When you as a PEOPLE no longer control the LEGISLATURE, not when you no longer control the EXECUTIVE that carries out the LEGISLATURE'S commands.

The supreme power in the state is the ability to legislate (that is one of the two sovereign swords) -- and war-making powers.
The American People can no longer stop (or start) wars. They cannot command /their own/ military. They cannot resolve disputes between THEIR states.

In short, the two Instruments of Power (military and legislative) have been TAKEN from them.
The SOVEREIGN PEOPLE has been deposed, and the constitution of the Federal Representative Republic is no longer a Republic, no longer Repping, and no longer a Federation of anything.

It is not a Republic because Congress, with Dominion and similar voting machines, is not accountable to the people of any state, nor will the tyrannical ruling Uniparty 'give the People the right to vote'. The PARTY (CCP) is Sovereign, not the American People.
It is not Representative, because the Legislatures of at least six states, and Congress, no longer answer to the will of the People, nor do they have the 'Republican form' guaranteed to all 50 states by the Constitution.
And it is no longer 'Federal', because the Supreme Court has seen fit to deny states the right to sue each other, in the only jurisdiction that is possible, rendering 'Federalism' a dead letter.
