Hi buddy, I'm old enough to remember Florida in 2000, when it was clear that the Florida Supreme Court was going to uphold a determination that Gore had more votes, and the Supreme Court discarded its principles of federalism and dictated a Bush victory. In your own state, the legislature has declined to seat a Democrat who won his election. We've had many Republicans insisting that Republican state legislatures should send slates of Trump electors to replace the Biden electors picked by their voters. In Wisconsin, you have a minority of Republicans commanding the legislature through gerrymandering.

You don't seem to have thought very hard about what the threats to democracy are, and that makes it very easy for you to glibly dismiss them.
