The only reason Trump's January 6 insurrection failed is because the Military does not support him. If he was a smarter fascist instead of attacking the military and denigrating them and angering all our Generals, he would have done everything he could to get their support, so that he could have sent them into the Capital to take control from his rioters and ensure that Congress could not reconvene.
But he couldn't do that. Because the people in charge of the military would never have followed that order. And he knew it.
The next republican president will likely not make that mistake, and that person will be much more dangerous than Trump.
