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.

    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.
