Me: The only things now that can stop trump from being reelected are a criminal conviction that disqualifies him from running or holding office, or key allies turning on him. A lot of powerful people have invested a lot of resources into backing trump, so it’s increasingly unlikely that the latter will happen.
In Scenario A, the repub/Maga plants on the SCOTUS turn on their masters, and their ruling disqualifies him. MAGA brains will explode and there might be localised unrest, but the non-Maga Repubs will voraciously jump on the opportunity to pull the party in their direction. Dems would likely win the POTUS.
Scenario B, the maga justices do what they were put there to do, and they protect trump. Trump wins the vote, Dems are out.
Scenario C, trump’s allowed to run, Biden wins despite Maga’s best efforts, the SCOTUS takes the case and decides yet again who will be the next president.
Scenario D, trump loses to Biden, SCOTUS doesn’t get involved, the House of Reps becomes the final battleground. The diehard Maga speaker of the house alleges electoral irregularities and refuses to allow the various necessary proceedings to certify a Biden win, Dems can’t overcome, and the Maga-heavy House gets the final vote on who’s the next POTUS for the 2nd time in US history.
Scenario E, somehow all of trump’s hidden aces fail to secure Maga the presidency. Anything could happen at this point.
