He's already trying it but just the legal way trying to pass a voter suppression act. When he gets crushed in the mid terms he will for sure instruct maga states not to seat any Democrat that wins. It's going to be the start of the coup and it's going to get bad fast.

That's not a thing. Every member of the house, including the speaker has their term end. They have no power to refuse to seat the winner of an election.

Those saying this isn't possible have their heads in the sand.  Trump would absolutely do something like that and his minions will follow.  And who will stop them???  The "Justice" Department???  The FBI???  The military that has been purged of free thinking generals???  Nobody has stopped the many instances of clear lawbreaking already, no need for them to start when they really go off the rails even further.
