Planning ahead for Trump’s denial of election results

Is someone developing a plan for the day after the election when Trump declares the results invalid and sends his Portland-trained secret police to smash down anybody who disagrees? I’m going to be really angry if there’s just a lot of hand-wringing as if we didn’t have any idea this could happen. The Trump administration is openly working on its contingency plan in the event Trump loses in November. Biden should have a whole wing of his campaign focused on getting out ahead of this, and he should be telling us what they’re going to do in the event this happens so we can all prepare. Is this in the works and I’ve just missed it? From what I’ve seen, Biden is proceeding on the assumption that the existing system would suffice to escort Trump out of the White House, and nothing I’ve seen in the past few years supports this position. It feels like all we’ve done since candidate Trump entered our lives is bank on the fact that the unimaginable couldn’t possibly happen while continuing to register dismay and amazement as we watch it happening over and over.
