I does occur to me that as the US under Trump goes bananas (as in "republic"), there is a less than non-zero chance that the military might push back. Does this sound coup-koo?

5/ We do know Caesar's fate. We know Hitler's fate. We will soon witness Putin's fate.
We will also know these fascists' fate anon. Edmund Spenser, the Elizabethan poet, asked, “Why, then, should I account of little pain / What endless pleasure shall unto me gain?”

4/ There's nothing new about Project 2025 and its maestro. The nostalgia for the Third Reich and Soviet expansionism runs deep. This is a fact. These bros stumbled onto countless billions and became mesmerized by Caesarean dreams.

2/ But today there was wilding in The Capitol, although less uncontrolled as it was on January 6, 2021. The teenage gang that was committing it was Trump and his tech bros. In a few days the young thugs of the new administration will be wilding on the country.

1/ Anybody remember what “wilding” from the 80's? (The Central Park 5: What Is 'Wilding'? | Crime News ). Donald Trump ran a full-page ad in the New York papers urging maximum punishment for these kids. It turned out that they were innocent of the racist charges.

8/ Why? Because, as helpless as I felt just being lightly violated, the entire GOP is composed of the guilty and the blackmailed. And they all know the Kremlin holds all their secrets and has no hesitance to release them at any time. The GOP is in a permanent state of fear.

5/ Now, the GOP. Their friends are nation-states at virtual war with the US. These states have been using their military's hacking capabilities to sow havoc in both public and private sectors in the US in recent years. The word “kompromat” has become part of everyday English.
