That's why ensuring that they have as little of power as possible is important, and ensuring that should the worst happen you have the means to protect yourself or a group of allies who are willing to help protect you.

What would have happened if they controlled enough of Congress to not certify the election? There were about 170 who said no, what if they had over half?

We can't let them win anymore elections, they are not a party that supports democracy. In fact they are in recent times openly speaking of their lack of support of the concept.
