Well, for the January 6 fascists to actually be effective you’d have to multiply their number by several thousand. There were a few hundred morons who showed up with no plan except to beat up cops and hopefully scare Pence into breaking the law. It was a shit show doomed to failure. They were losers and current Trump supporters are even bigger losers.
I know that, but if “might makes right” was suddenly a thing it would be a big mess. My point was we probably don’t want to be bringing assassination/violence into the discussion about checks and balances, even if it comes with a wink, because there are definitely folks who will consider it.
