So when SCOTUS invalidates the election in the four swing states for violating the constitution they will almost certainly just order the legislators from each respective state to send the electors of their choosing. If the states wouldn't stand up for Trump before, how do we make sure they wont just go for Biden again to avoid Antifa or because they thought it was a fair election?

The supreme court just a year ago i believe said that faithless electors were valid and could pick whom ever they wished.
That was handy of them.. I'll never accept Joe Biden as president, and I'm not alone
Correct. You are not alone. Standing back and standing ready.
That was "faithless electors". This is a different situation. The constitution didn't really cover this because the people were never meant to vote on senators or presidents in the first fucking place. That progressive bullshit got in in the early 20th century, starting with the 17th Amendment. Our shit started to hit the fan in 1912.
Prior to that, that states had the option to hold or not hold a popular vote to determine the sentiment of the people. But popular vote sentiment is not a requirement constitutionally for choosing electors. The 17th gave people the right to vote for Senators (a really bad idea), and that extended to the popular vote determining how electors were slated.
