Trump tonight called on Mike Pence to "do the right thing", meaning to recognize alternate electors and declare Trump president.
I don't think Pence will do that, but if he did, that would be the end of the United States of America. The people on this board seem to think this isn't a big deal, but it is.
If Pence declared Trump the winner, it would be overturned by the Supreme Court, but the Republican Party would be forced to play along, and the supporters would go to war to make the lie true.
This is what coddling a narcissistic criminal results in -- a moment where democracy could die with single action. He should've been removed via the 25th in his first few months.
