Hid very off-topic reply about Russia {WE?}
Look into what happened in Russia when Jeltsin took over. Look how utterly amateurish all of it seems. Coups are not streamlined affairs planned by competent government officials. They are, often bloody, messes planned by people trying to get the government officials out of the way. One cannot overstate how close the US democracy came to the edge at 1/6. There were all kinds of plans in place to keep Biden out of office. Fake electors, pressuring Pence not to certify the election, keeping the national guard out of the way.
Your ass was saved by Pence unexpectedly finding his spine. Not by any incompetence by the would be revolutionaries. They had their ducks in a row and were marching on the Capitol.
