My mentor and I are brutally honest with each other. We both admitted that it looks bad after the electoral college has deemed Biden the winner. The prospects are all long shots, except for one. The Insurrection Act and the 2018 Executive Order are the only means that seem like a clear win for President Trump.

The signaling from Trump is clear. Just today he said, "...we won in a landslide... we caught them..." and his attorney, Jenna Ellis showed her agreement that Trump has the support of millions of Americans who will not back down. She also said, (and forgive me I cannot find the tweet now) that she backs the President with whatever he decides to do with his authority, implying she backs the idea of the Insurrection Act.

I have also noticed that the right wing media has been sent the message to spread the idea to normalize it among Trump supporters. I think everyone here has read this Macris article about crossing the Rubicon. The American Thinker had a piece on Pinochet and how he defeated a rigged election, and how that was a good thing. This normalizes the idea of Trump using such actions, though not as drastically. We also have CodeMonkeyz tweeting this. The messaging is out there, and I think Trump is going to do it. It is the only option left.

Edit for additional observation: Trump has often said that he looks up to Abraham Lincoln as our greatest President. Lincoln suspended habeus corpus to defeat his enemies. Trump likely takes inspiration from him to do the same to save our Republic. Our Republic cannot survive without free and fair elections.
