This would have given Trump the excuse he needed to solidify his coup with a classic military intervention
I have to rebut that.

For anyone to use the military to solidify a coup, it would take significant logistical deployment prior to the event. This would take a lot of planning with troops mobilized and on standby, but that was not the case. There were no federal troops ready to do anything but stand by.

The first part is an ok start. Mob the capitol, which would pause on the proceedings. If the riot was able to sustain itself for more than 3 hours without intervention from NG or DCPD, elected officials would have to be removed from premises (if possible). This would allow Trump the time necessary for him to declare a national emergency and proclaim himself acting president until all the claims could be resolved to him winning, at which time he would anoint himself Emperor of the Universe. That is the time he would obilize the military. Since there are no protocols for not ending an election, he could appeal to his court while waiting the results from Trump loyalists in the swing states which voted for Biden. Remember he told Gov Kemp, find me the votes. He would make same appeal to all those states, until they found him the votes.

Some say it couldn't happen in America because .... ahhh .... we are America. Wake up and open your eyes. Phase one has already happened .... phase two .... the completion phase.

Praise the great Trump

America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
