It's pretty ridiculous lol
I would never in a million years see Biden as some kind of revolutionary who would contest the election after the electoral college.
Now, if he's at 268 and persuades two electors to change their votes in states that don't have laws enforcing the popular vote... that's actually a rock solid constitutional way to swing the outcome of the election. However, California, Oregon, and Washington threatening the leave the union... don't make me laugh.
That's actually a rock solid way to start a civil war. And it's the Trump-loving rural hillbillies from red states which have the majority of privately-owned guns. Just sayin'...
But yes, it's a very over the top scenario.
What I consider a somewhat realistic scenario, however, is the following: Trump's constant complaints against vote-by-mail have created a significant partisan split in preference for voting in person vs voting by mail. Several polls have confirmed this. Therefore, it's not hard to see Trump narrowly leading on election night in the swing states, only to lose them over the following days and weeks as mail ballots are counted. Similar to what happened in the Arizona senate race in 2018, or several CA house races. In this scenario, it would not be hard to imagine Trump's twitter tirades about voter fraud with mail ballots and how he "told you so" to fall on fertile ground.
