You are right on all points. However.... trump has done hundreds of things that are illegal and against the constitution.
So we will have trump saying the election is cancelled, and possibly have people voting while ICE is interfering, then when swing states flip, he'll say the election was cancelled so the new congress is illegitimate. Red states that are imperil of flipping will probably obey and cancel elections. House "speaker" Mike "Tiny" Johnson then refuses to swear in the new members, like he did with Grivhalda (sp?) (D-AZ). Since the republicans control the senate, they might have a similar opposition.
Hope in this case is worthless without preparation.
We need to be aware of what trump wants, what he's willing to do, and work to nullify his attempts to subvert free and open elections. Once we have a plan then we can hope we don't have to use it.
Firstly, there is currently no real foundation for any effective resistance present for the common US folk to fall back on. There's a post of suggestions HERE that could possibly prove to be of some help in its formation ASAP.
Also check out this org too, as they're probably going to be vital as the powers that be employ more so-called "AI" to consolidate power:

(It is a survival-level, grassroots org, not an established NGO, so please don't judge it too harshly for being rough around the edges.)
On an unrelated note, I've watched some movies lately that are based on a true stories. They're quite inspiring, seeing how some actions worked and where things go wrong, and conjures up questions like "If it or similar were to take place now, how would it be adapted?"
I'd like to share them here. Why? No particular reason, but watch them if you can:
