Lots of FUD starting to spread about the GOPs refusal to recognize Biden as the prelude to a coming coup. I think a simpler explanation is that despite Trump's loss, the Republican Party is still very much Cult 45, and while most of the Congressional Republicans fully expect Trump to go, nobody wants to be the one to step into the crosshairs and have their own base, which is a microcosm of Trump's base, turn on them. Much safer to just wait it out, let Trump fizzle, and then pretend later that they were being steadfast rather than cowardly.

Or, you know, a it's coup. It's fucking 2020. Nothing surprises me anymore.
