Convinced? No, absolutely not.

Could it still happen? Yeah it could.

Look, here's the thing. We are the revolution. The Leftists are the Counter-Revolution sent by the establishment. The establishment has violated all norms, customs, laws, and taboos this year. Everything has been violated solely to maintain power.

I said this a few days after election night, and I'll say it again: This is not a win for them.

These are very aggressive, and very desperate moves. Trump is continuing to play within the rules. Should he decide to bend those rules, we end up in a much worse situation for the establishment.

During any revolutionary or civil war period, the law stopped mattering. What mattered, fundamentally, was raw support. Trump has a level of raw support that the Establishment do not have. The level or resistance to Establishment will has only increased, this breaks their objectives of war.

As a reminder, Clausewitz defines war as:

War is nothing but a duel on a larger scale. Countless duels go to make up war, but a picture of it as a whole can be formed by imagining a pair of wrestlers. Each tries through physical force to compel the other to do his will; his immediate aim is to throw his opponent in order to make him incapable of further resistance.

War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will. Force, to counter opposing force equips itself with the inventions of art and science. Attached to force are certain self-imposed, imperceptible limitations hardly worth mentioning, known as international law and custom, but they scarcely weaken it. Force - that is, physical force, for moral force has no existence save as expressed in the state and the law - is thus the means of war; to impose our will on the enemy is its object. To secure that object we must render the enemy powerless; and that, in theory, is the true aim of warfare. That aim takes the place of the object, discarding it as something not actually part of war itself.

I keep harping on this definition because it explains Leftism fully. You must understand that the Left and the establishment are on war-footing. They are already at war. Not in the normal sense, but bureaucratic, legal, and political sense, they are fully at war. This definition reminds you, that the law means nothing in war. International law is an irrelevant self-imposition. The law itself, is nothing more than a form moral force. The law is effectively a political argument... and and it's a weak one.

This is why Cicero said:

Silent enim lēgēs inter arma

"In times of war, the law falls silent."

This is because law is a means in a war. It is only a moral force. And the only people who accept moral force from you... are your allies. Not your enemies. Your enemies are not effected by your moral force. Otherwise, they wouldn't be shooting at you.

By corrupting the courts, the police, the legislatures, and the law; they have caused it to fall silent on the ears of many tens of many millions. Not just the voter fraud. But political prosecutions of right-wingers. The refusal to pursue charges on Leftist Lynchers. The demand to charge the people who defended themselves against the lynchers.

I'm not surprised SCOTUS won't take up any court cases. After Brown v. Board, they very nearly destroyed their own legitimacy in the South. The more activist they became, the more state, and even some federal courts rebuked them, and the more silent the law fell. So eventually, they moved more quietly. SCOTUS has spoken loudly many times, and it occasionally bled Americans dry by doing so. So now, they're trying to shut up, hoping that the law breathes a whisper of moral force on someone.

But it's too late. I can't stop this. We can't stop this. No one can stop this anymore.

With each and every violation, the establishment guaranteed an outcome that they wanted, at a price no amount of printed money can afford. Raw legitimacy has been violated. No moral force of law can have any impact on a people that do not accept it.

Trump, and his base, are not likely to openly violate the law as they see the constitution as a moral force. However, if Trump were to bend some portion of federal code, to otherwise protect the constitution, that could have an impact on the establishment that it is not prepared for. Trump keeps playing within the bounds of the law, but if he stretches it, the whole thing could break, and the Establishment would find themselves without any real support at all.

The establishment is on a war-footing to legitimize itself. That is not an offensive action, it is a defensive one. They are absolutely on the brink of disaster. Even if Trump concedes, and fades quietly away... I don't think they can avert it. Trump is only an avatar of an up-swelling of a cultural shift I believe will change this entire century, and I don't think anybody knows it.

To be clear about the answer to your question: I don't know if he can or can't. What I do know is that Trump is only a few weeks from not mattering anymore. And what comes after him are unavoidable, and bigger than anything he might personally intend.

Convinced? No, absolutely not.
