They were never going to throw it away.

If you want to create a binary alternative between "crazed theories" and 'everything is great,' whatever. My point was that Trump and his supporters have done a lot of damage to our system of government, even without Supreme Court acceptance of crazed theories. For example, a majority of GOP Congressmen and several Senators have endorsed the theory that Congress can reject electoral votes on bogus grounds. That's nuts. It's completely undemocratic, and it paves the way for worse in the future. And it bypasses the Supreme Court.

As to Sebby's point that Trump was not a threat because he ultimately did not suceed, I wonder if that means he would not have found Hitler a threat?

After the beer hall putsch, Hitler looked silly, didn't he?
