If the Democrats win the 2024 presidential election, I have serious doubts that Republicans will accept the results. They will never accept the results of the 2020 election. They are trying to pass laws to let legislatures bypass election results and pick electors. This has the potential to be a disaster.
Imagine that Biden wins the 2024 election by a clear margin. Republican state legislatures immediately pass laws seeking to invalidate his victory in their states, and a Republican-controlled House votes to give the presidency to Trump.

The Big Lie is bigger than you think. Much bigger. It contains many other lies. It's a cluster bomb of deceptions and untruths, a designer virus engineered to kill democracy. Don't underestimate it. My latest for @TheDailyBeast. https://t.co/3ZCYdiDjmY

Stop saying Republicans are "cowards" who "fear Trump." This lets them off the hook in a very fundamental way. They *want* a future in which they treat hated election outcomes as subject to invalidation. They are building this future right now. New piece:https://t.co/qcal2NceYU

GOP hostility to democracy threatens to "create a series of unprecedented roadblocks to majority rule. Not just by suppressing the vote or drawing unfair districts, but by refusing to accept the vote itself."
