If the election was stolen we are already in a post-constitutional situation. The problem is there is no clear constitutional remedy for an illegal president usurping power.
Exactly.

The remedy is clearly spelled out in the Constitution, impeachment and removal from office upon conviction.

Sure there is.
But first, drop the political/electoral focus. Elections have become placeboes. They’re sugar cubes designed to let the people feel that their votes matter and that we are self-governing.
Per our Declaration of Independence, We the People have the Natural Right to frame our government.
Our Framers ensconced that right in Article V. It is past time to do an end run around our masters, the DC oligarchs.
Article V COS.
Actually there is, but no one has the gumption to use it.🤨
Yes there is! The remedy is a convention of the states. The states can dissolve this govt. They could then appoint trustees over various depts, appoint a temporary commander in chief, and order new elections, or any other solutions which would resolve this. The states have the power to do whatever needs to be done to right the ship of state. We are now at the point where whatever risks there may be are worth taking.
Our country was in a crisis in 1776, and our forefathers (and foremothers) stepped forward and did what needed to be done so that we could be a free independent nation, ruling ourselves rather than being ruled by a foreign despot. But now, again, we are at a crisis point. The question is, do we follow their example and do whatever needs to be done to restore our constitutional republic, using the mechanism given to us by our sacred constitution, or do we submit to thi tyranny?
If we are such cowards, then let us be damned and condemned by our children and our children’s children, for we have selfishly and carelessly thrown away their birthright for the sake of personal comfort and the deadly sin of sloth.
