It doesn’t work like that. On January 20th, if he refuses to leave the White House, secret service will wake him up, put him in cuffs and escort him out of the White House while President Pelosi is being sworn in. Trump and the republicans can’t change that. They barely have a majority in the senate and can’t touch the house. He will be removed if he tries to invalidate the election. I have 100% faith in that.
We should be more worried about the Supreme Court than anything else here. They have precedence from 2000 already for getting involved in an election when they shouldn’t have. I could see that happening again for Trump to get results accepted for him to be the winner if there are the shenanigans we all expect.

I have a feeling there would be a full raid of the white house by protesters that make the proposed Area 51 naruto raid look like nothing. America is done with this fool, he's going to leave either by being escorted out by secret service or in pieces by the american people.

This. I have tried telling my friends and family this for months that this is a very real possibility, in fact it is most likely given a loss at this point. I've always maintained that T was sent here to show us how fragile political systems and institutions really are. Our institutions and laws are far more fragile than people like to believe, uncomfortably so.

This is the type of hysterical fear mongering I expect from the alt right.
