Your rhetoric is matching the actions you are proposing, in that you aren't suggesting an existential threat to the Republic and are also suggesting that the fraud can be addressed.
Someone who states that the fraud and the manipulation of procedure to "launder" the fraud is an existential threat to the Republic...well there are certain expectations to the sorts of actions one ought to the willing to support to address an existential threat. "All cards on the table" as it were, even if playing a particular card may not be strategically wise.
The GOP is playing an extremely dangerous game playing up the "existential threat" rhetoric, and they better mean it because they're awakening a sleeping giant. For example the talk of secession in Texas and the State Police blocking electors in Michigan. If that's all just bluster meant to drive donations and get out the vote, it's extremely stupid to bluster in such a way that suggests political parties and voting aren't the solution to our problems.
If State Police truly are blocking State officials from doing their duty on the orders of another State official, the resolution to that standoff doesn't involve voting. If the Texas GOP is serious about "forming a more perfect union of states that uphold the Constitution", we've seen twice in our history that preserving such a union involves more than just voting.
in that you aren't suggesting an existential threat to the Republic
The Republic is dead. I'm just waiting for the shooting to start (it won't be me firing the first salvo), and I expect it won't be that long. The only question is, what will be the straw that shatters this camel's broken back?
Will it be more fraud in the Georgia runoffs, so they can secure a compliant and complicit Senate?
Will it be a month-long federally-imposed lockdown?
Will it be the 2022 election, that makes this one look clean?
We're at five seconds to midnight (or perhaps more accurately, five seconds to Rwanda) here. It won't take much to convince people the only box they have left is 'ammo', and the ruling class seems convinced they can white-knuckle their way through this and permanently cement themselves atop the power structure, unconcerned with the possibility of people objecting to their utter subjugation.
