He persuades enough people in the military that it should be so, and if Congress or judges disagree, he prevents them from meeting by any means necessary.

I think everyone knows this intuitively. So does Trump. In our country with our independent branches of government and the things that we've been taught to believe about ourselves, it has been particularly difficult to do. But as Congress continues to fail to do its most basic duties, and new Supreme Court decisions continue to baffle the people more and more, it's becoming easier to do. 

It is what Trump attempted to do, but he probably did not decide to try it until mid December 2020.  Up until that point, he figured that he had enough friends at the state level that they would do his dirty work with bogus legal briefs and no one had to get hurt. Even on January 2 with his call to Atlanta you see him trying to get his way without calling for a violent uprising, but from at least December 19 he was already laying out his back up plan for mob violence and his clear hope that he could call up the national guard to have them help him intimidate Congress.

So Jan 6 is what you get when Trump spends just three weeks trying to end the Constitution.  It was half hearted and half [BLEEP].  If he enters office again he will have four years to plan for it.

The rest of your statement in bold is a typical left-wing democrat opinion.

It's amazing how smart men can miss the things they don't want to see.
