Assuming everything else was the same, but we branch off into a parallel universe where the US Supreme Court just ignore facts and arbitrarily decided by a 5-4 vote (assuming Roberts side with the 3 liberal justices, because that’s probably the most realistic scenario) that Donald J. Trump is the winner of the election. What would happen? Civil war?
Asking because I’m a pessimist and always think of worst-case scenarios.
The supreme court doesn’t decide the president of the unite states so probably nothing would happen.
I mean, that part played out anyway…
Only for the half of the people that previously thought the Supreme Court to think along their thoughts.

Your link doesn’t lead to anything, but if you are trying to suggest the supreme arbitrarily decided Bush won the presidency then that is factually incorrect. There was a court case about Florida’s ballots in particular that happened to be enough to sway the outcome of the presidential election.
The Supreme Court decided the election.
More to the point, they stopped the recount.
