An armed rebellion. Duh.
In fact this is the only thing that can be done. If Trump loses, he wins anyway in the form of Biden.
Biden did continue just about all of Trump's most infamous policies. The border camps are still open, he continued to build the wall, Cop Cities are still built, the 61 political prisoners in Atlanta are still locked up under RICO charges that the Segregationist-In-Chief could've pardoned away... "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"; no matter who wins.
Those 61 prisoners were prosecuted under state law, which the president cannot pardon or commute. It is part of the reason that the business record investigation against Trump has outsized consequences. It was done at the state level, so even if he is reelected there is no question of him pardoning himself.
Likewise with Cop City, it is funded by the Atlanta City Council and private entities. The federal government is not involved from what I can tell.
You mean Trump... is a shapeshifter ?
