before Jan 6, don't expect to see many people fretting about Biden losing. They'll just be mad about Trump winning. You and I both know even the people who voted for Biden didn't want Biden as president, and that that motivation isn't strong enough to mount a serious legal challenge, nor is it strong enough to win an election. That shit happens in my home country because no one cares about scandals. US people care about scandals. That shit doesn't fly.

there's no if. it is a matter of WHEN Trump continues to WIN!
I legitimately don't think martial law is an issue. The COVID lockdowns have acclimated people to governmental overreach so much that when Trump passes the order down to the Pentagon and the average citizen realizes afterward he can still order something on Amacalzone and have it arrive the next day he will respond with complete apathy. When people think "martial law" they think "troops stomping through the streets" and when that doesn't happen (because it concerns the politicians of wrongdoing, not the citizenry) they will accept it. Whine on Twatter perhaps, but they will accept it.
Honestly that's the benchmark to be brutally honest. The fact that Trump has refused to vocally concede and the news have to resort to "anonymous sources" ("he's conceding guise, totes") leads me to this conclusion. The legal options are narrowing sure but martial law in this year does not sound bad at all.
