A wildcard: The JCS. They have sort of signaled their intent. Would they follow Trump even in a legal action to prevent Biden’s inauguration?
Another wildcard: Mike Pence
This is war. And Trump’s lines of communication have been cut. Hard to win a war under those circumstances.

What do I see as the possibilities?
Well, we cannot discount General McInerny’s Decalogue.
But I think Trump actually being inaugurated is a very long shot, and would probably incite a real insurrection.

I don’t think Trump would actively incite any kind of peaceful resistance. He got stung too badly (albeit unjustly) by the Capitol incident.
But I am sure he will go down fighting, and can win a few battles.

And the levers he will pull:
•Issue Pardons
•Declassify documents
•Primary people who betrayed him
•Heavily influence 2022 and 2024
•Run in 2024
•Perhaps start a viable third party

I think that after the inauguration, it will be clearly established that Trump won, but it will be too late.
I don’t think Trump can win in 2024 because the necessary reforms are unlikely to be enacted (given that reform is disadvantageous to the regnant Democrats).

I think the Republican establishment will cheat against him in the primaries, but if he gets nominated, the Democrats will again cheat and win.
