This is something everyone in the US likely needs to be considering and taking very seriously. “The worst case, however, is not that Trump rejects the election outcome. The worst case is that he uses his power to prevent a decisive outcome against him. If Trump sheds all restraint, and if his Republican allies play the parts he assigns them, he could obstruct the emergence of a legally unambiguous victory for Biden in the Electoral College and then in Congress. He could prevent the formation of consensus about whether there is any outcome at all. He could seize on that un­certainty to hold on to power.”

Trump is a divisive character but he's not stupid. Didn't Biden also say that he would reject the election result? These are uncertain times for the US. Let's hope common sense prevails.
