Yeah. That’s the real answer to this: exploiting this fuck-awful SCOTUS decision plunges the US into an authoritarian state.
The choice is: do you let Trump and Republicans do it if they win and turn American into a christo-fascist state? Or do it yourself to prevent that and turn into a “better?” abusive state? There’s really no winning here but we have to do something or we’re screwed.
If the choice is between a benevolent dictator and a normal dictator, I choose the former all day long.
The only reason to choose the latter is if you actually want a dictator because you believe you won’t be affected or because you hope that it will rally a resistance.
If we assume that, in theory…as an example, Biden were to abuse the ruling and if we also assume he means well; he could theoretically do the following:
Simply round up Trump, all his major supporters, major far-right republicans and anyone else who has been making large moves that support the treasonous and seditious acts
Declare all of them terrorists, seditionists and traitors to the country
Recommend that the DoJ immediately arrest them, find them guilty, and sentence them to exactly 4 years of prison for each individual seditious anything they were doing, or perceived to be doing.
Most of the powerful ones would be serving multi-decade sentences probably.
Get re-elected, push through bills to patch up any and all loopholes they used to undermine the system of government.
Step down after the term and retire from politics after having put down their rebellion.
Sadly, Joe has morals and ethics.

Either way we are fucked.
