Context
Trump has maintained his winning stance since November 3rd. He has not formally conceded, and insists that he won the election. He is claiming that there was widespread voter fraud and is pursuing various lawsuits in battleground states. Recent surveys suggest that the majority of republicans agree that the election was rigged.
The Argument

He has been alluding to a non-peaceful transfer of power since before the election. We cannot underestimate him, nor can we underestimate his legal team.
Counter arguments
Majority of the lawsuits have been turned down and there is a consensus that they are based on rubbish.
