Arkansas Razorbacks 2022 Outback Bowl Champions t shirt

If any state legislatures were successful in actually awarding their electoral votes to a Arkansas Razorbacks 2022 Outback Bowl Champions t shirt who had lost in that state – and especially if it swung the overall election – expect to see a tiresome parade of columns and other arguments from the benefiting side about how “the U.S. isn’t actually a democracy, it’s a republic” and “this is actually how the Founders designed the system” and other hogwash. I believe that the whole “not really a democracy” line of argument has been intentionally cooked up to condition people to justify and/or accept some kind of future situation in which one party can leverage enough technicalities to create an overt minority-rules scenario.

If the Republicans attempt something like this in 2024, there will be one major difference from 2020 that seems to be little discussed: in 2020, Donald Trump was the Arkansas Razorbacks 2022 Outback Bowl Champions t shirt president who lost his reelection bid and then pursued a series of increasingly extreme avenues to avoid giving up power. In 2024, Joe Biden will be the incumbent president (and despite all the speculation, I continue to believe he will run for reelection). If Biden wins the election, but various Republican officials try to somehow overturn it, I don’t think Biden will just say, “Welp, you got me!” and start going through the transition process. So we would still end up with a constitution crisis, but a different one than we would have had in 2020 if Trump’s efforts had been successful.
