Have the American people actually do something and overthrow the courts and/or congress.

Except he's not.

All Biden would have to do is declare the GOP a terrorist or Right-Wing extremist organization, which they 100% are, thus removing their ability to have a say in Congress or the Courts.

"For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!"- Romans 1: 21-25

It just remains to be seen how the real election goes, and if the winner is Biden, what he decides to do about it.

With a lot of liberals, it's never over. Heck, some of them still can't get over 2016!


That's hardly unique to liberals. Trump himself spent most of Obama's second term acting exactly as childishly, albeit without the excuse of actually having a point.

It is a slaughter and not just a political dispute.

Noooo the mob as in the mob. What if the sitting justices have an accident.

I guess “Mob” doesn’t carry in a political discussion ;)

That's actually not true. Firearms that could be discharged multiple times without reloading were available at the time the 2nd Amendment was conceived. Revolvers came into wide use in the decades immediately following the ratification of the Constitution as well, less than a generation after the Founders. Some men who began their political careers in the 1790s would have been at the height of their power by that time. There were also cannons.
"Then it was as if all the beauty of Ardha, devastating in its color and form and movement, recalled to him, more and more, the First Music, though reflected dimly. Thus Alnair wept bitterly, lamenting the notes which had begun to fade from his memory. He, who had composed the world's first poem upon spying a gazelle and who had played the world's first song upon encountering a dove perched upon a moringa, in beauty, now found only suffering and longing. Such it must be for all among the djinn, souls of flame and ash slowly dwindling to cinders in the elder days of the world."

I never did, what I meant with the quotation marks is how the media have been calling even the violent demonstrations peaceful. I'm a-okay with peaceful ones that don't damage anything or anyone, those are absolutely 100% constitutional.
