Except its not a good long term solution. The problem I see is that the political leadership has drunk the kool aid. They assume the 2020 election has given them a mandate. It did not. The amount of issues around it were enough to throw serious doubt on the legitimacy of the current government. Whether such doubts are unfounded is not material. What matters is that they exist, and have no been addressed.
Future historians will look back on the Federal Courts refusal to hear the arguments over the 2020 election with the same contempt they view their decision to hear the Dredd Scott case and rule against Scott. Something too many people forget that is that the decision to not make a decision is STILL a decision. And when you decide to not do something this choice has long term ramifications. They had a chance, before 2021, to address the very real and very deeply held concerns among millions of Americans over the legitimacy of their electoral process. And rather then even dignify the complaint with a hearing, they took the cowards route and ignored it. While the institutional press parroted the lie that the courts had actually ruled against the claims of electoral issues. When no such rulings were made because all the cases were dismissed on procedural grounds without ever addressing the facts.
Any government that comes to power under these circumstances should be circumspect and mindful of the actual political realities it faces. Biden's ascension is akin to an illegitimate bastard of the king gaining the throne because no better option was available and he got crowned first by the bishop so there. His power base is weak, and his potential successor, the vice president, is already circling like a shark to take the throne herself. This is a huge problem. Bidens mandate to wake up each morning in the White House is tenuous. Never mind his mandate to enforce sweeping economic and cultural mandates on the entire country.
I can think of no better a toxic brew for something very bad to happen. Made all the worse by the fact that millions of Americans are taught from birth that all political authority is ultimately derived from the barrel of a gun. How nice that the very first major cultural change is going to be a gun ban. Just great.
