I agree John that US democracy is in great trouble if the Republicans win the next presidential election by fair means or foul, especially if Trump is their leader. But it will be very very difficult for Trump to win by blatantly foul means if there is Democrat president with a Democrat vice president as President of the senate. A clear vote for a Democrat president in 2024 would be very hard to overturn in the courts or the Senate because of the Democrat's control of the Presidency and the bureaucracy.

Therefore the Democrats should focus on getting a clear victory in the swing states in 2024 by things like tens of thousands of Democrats moving to the swing states and by pork barrelling those states with cost effective investments and by lots of grass roots organising. It's a whatever it takes time I'm afraid.
