The New York Times has a great article on the delusion of the right wing extremists and the media that is supporting that delusion. But they missed one key component, and that is that the current expectation of these extremists is that Trump will declare martial law and direct mass arrests of Democrats as well as any Republicans deemed disloyal (such as the Governors of the "swing States" and all members of the SCOTUS except Alito and Thomas).
Their "reasoning" is that by certifying the election results, the "swing States" have committed an illegal act (Trump tweeted exactly that the other day) and this was all part of Trump's plan to trap his enemies into committing fraud and "forcing" him to act.
According to them, this will all be triggered Friday by a report from the DNI regarding foreign election interference.
When this doesn't happen, their next expectation is that Pence will somehow just declare Trump the winner, or that he will report the fake Trump elector votes instead of the actual elector votes.
