If the outgoing administration doesn't start WWIII by authorizing the use of intermediate range ballistic missiles deep into the heart of Russia, then I think Trump has a chance of surviving until the inauguration.

I've said this before:

First, they tried to jail Trump - Fail!
Next, they tried to assassinate Trump (3X!!!) - Fail!
Start WWIII to prevent Trump from being inaugurated - In process.

Not an irrational thought, but I'm not seeing it. Too risky. We become a banana republic officially at that point. Like the banana signs the deal.

Republicans are mostly rational and reserved. If Trump isn't POTUS this time around with a popular vote, people will die. I don't think it will get to that level. Kamala was so bad they really can't defend her. But hard core right wing people won't stand by this time. Not just take a tour of Congress. You poke the bear enough, you eventually get mauled.

Trump technically as President elect could probably negotiate deals to avoid WWIII. I think we're already into it anyway though. We just don't have boots on the ground, but N. Korea sent troops to the Ukraine front. Israel is fighting in Gaza, Lebanon and with Iran who is allied with Russia. NATO countries are funding Ukraine and likely sending mercenaries. I mean, this is already a world war if you think about it.
