Republicans' Red Line

I feel that Trump wanting to steal this election is the red line between the deplorable part of Trump's base and the normal part of Trump's base

I have Republican neighbors who voted for Trump but they are good people, not deplorable. I am dying to know where they stand on this issue of Trump wanting to steal this election! Are they finally going to think this is a bridge too far even for them??! Are they going to admit (whether out loud on in their heads) that Trump needs to concede??

who I have an enormous amount of respect for has jumped on the recount petition band wagon. While she is conservative, I didn't consider her as nutty as some of the others, but I may be wrong. She was one of the ones I didn't flush on Facebook after the 2016 election.

I think most of them are still scared of Trump's 70m voters. They don't want to anger any of them because they still want their votes.

and civil war and treason. It seems at some point, if they keep pushing it, things could evolve into a movement to overthrow a properly elected government. Not saying they have or will, but we certainly see some signs and overt threats to do exactly that. What's the plan then?
