I can't agree with you there. It is certainly true there are dangerous politicians who use perfectly legal means to do violence to our freedoms. However, one man's "legal shenanigans" is another man's "protection of due process". I assume you are mostly referring to Trump's attempts to overturn the election results in several states. I say let him. He will undoubtedly fail. That is a good thing. It is better IMHO that there be no possible question about the results. Granted, there are crazies who will not believe it was honest no matter what, but for any "rational" person, removing any question of significant fraud is not a bad thing. We don't need a "stab in the back" legend to grow.
As a side note, Georgia has just certified their election results after a full audit. Trump picked up a few votes, but not near enough to change the result. This audit eliminates any possibility of "widespread fraud".
