What happens though if/when a presidential election is clearly stolen by states ignoring vote results on patently flimsy pretexts? And let’s say the Supreme Court has confirmed that legislatures have the ultimate say on how elections are executed. Are the blue people just going to roll over and accept this?

If there is no recourse, revolt is still an option. Maybe not against neighbours, but against state capitals and institutions? Defended by other people, who may actually be neighbours. So do you end up in a civil war anyway?
I can't see the left revolting. Just can't see it.
They just reversed abortion and what happened? It something you'd think they'd be storming the Bastille over.

What happened? A few demonstrations and they're not going to even come out to vote tomorrow. When polled, abortion rights is like the 8th most important issue. The state of the democracy is even lower.

Even if it was a full-blown Trump dictatorship, as long as taxes, grocceries and gas prices are low, everything is a-okay to the average American.
