In the summer of 2020 communist revolutionaries took over a city, nnounced themselves as an autonomous governing body and people actually died.  There were guns and a warlord.   

Whoever heard of an unharmed insurrection.  

As for the constitution dying, the regime in charge, by definition, doesn't believe in aid constitution.  

I'm a "black male".   The first taste of the red pill for me was learning what "living document" theory was.  That's insane.

People actually died on Jan 6 2021 as well, if you think that's determinitive in any way (you don't.  You're not arguing honestly).
And you're proving my point.  Yes, the thing in Seattle went on for like a month.  And it didn't affect my life, or your life, or the constitution, at all.
The regime in charge indeed takes a very loose view of certain clauses in the constitution, but, so has every regime in both parties ever since the war powers act passed.  Many specific clauses of the Constitution unfortunately have been interpreted well beyond reason and the actual checks and balances between the branches aren't as clear in practice as they told you and I they would be in civics class.
But one essential feature remains.  The terms in office, and the method of selecting the person or people for the next term.  Every country, even those without written constitutions, has to answer the question, "when does this guy's time in office end?" and "who goes next?" Even if the answers are primitive, like "when he dies" and "his son," that's still better than the even more primitive, "when someone usurps him," and "whoever is strong enough to do it."
Here, the transfer of power had been done by the book, with debate but without violence, for no less than 44 regime changes. 44 in a row.  Some countries can't even get 1 in a row.  But we got 44.  Then we picked a guy who cared about himself more than he cared about continuing the good thing we've had going for 232 years. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
