If Vice President Pence and the Cabinet were men and not puppets, if they had any ethics or commitment to American democracy, they would invoke the 25th Amendment, Section 4, and free our country from President Trump. Trump clearly is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." The peaceful transfer of power being one of the most important duties of an American president.
This would certainly throw the Republican Party and its voting base up for grabs. But the fact that Trump loyalists took such a move would at least have a chance to quiet the Trump base and result in a peaceful transition to the Biden presidency.
From what we have seen during the past month since the election, when Trump's defeat becomes final, it will not be accepted gracefully.
