If Trump decides to stage a coup...
If Trump decides to stage a coup via the faithless electors route, what is the likely future of the Electoral College? Choose two.
Yep. That is exactly what I mean. What would happen if he succeeds in doing that?Can you clarify what this means? Getting so many Biden electors to switch teams and vote Trump that Trump wins?
Fat chance.

Chaos. Half of those voting for Trump won't accept it.Actually, I could be happy with either outcome. If Trump wants to be the wooden shoe and toss himself into the gears of the Electoral college system in an act of self-sabotage, I could live with and embrace the collapse of the Electoral College.
Well yeah, the increased leverage of their voting power would disappear.Chaos. Half of those voting for Trump won't accept it.
Hey, I agree with you!I voted <dismantled>.
As I already said, this is Trump's real agenda.....
Trump's Secret Agenda...Kill The Electoral College
It was bound to happen sooner or later.Hey, I agree with you!
I don't quite follow your intended meaning, however while it may be legal on paper, sabotaging the electoral college is illegal in all other respects, and wordless is any ink that says otherwise.Well yeah, the increased leverage of their voting power would disappear.
I think a full-on civil war isn't going to happen, but Trump's camp certainly have enough unhinged, violent people that a number of attacks on the scale of the Oklahoma City bombing are a real possibility.Even though it is not likely, imo, I do believe "all hell will break out..." if Trump and the congressional Pubs staged a coup. Thomas Friedman mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, saying "Civil War II" could be substantially worse than the Civil War because of the fact that we have roughly 300,000,000 guns in circulation here.
The fact that we even are discussing this says a lot about Trump and his base whereas this would even come up for discussion. David Gergen, a Republican who has worked for four presidents, calls Trump a "madman".
So, since so many in base still support this guy, it doesn't bode well for our future, and what comes to mind is this: "Those whom do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it", and I truly hope that those in Trump's base eventually come to their senses.
When did that happen?SCOTUS has already ruled on faithless electors so the OP question is moot.

Your question is interesting but, IMHO, moot.
The electoral college gave Trump his first win. He is hoping it will give him a second win. Why do you think he wants to destroy his golden goose? I'd guess he wants it around long enough to have Ivanka installed as president.As I already said, this is Trump's real agenda.....
