A few observations:
On Jan 6, when his own supporters were protesting the very criminal outcome that he'd convinced them was the case, Trump capitulated to the demands of not just Biden, but the entire political Leftist establishment and the media. He called the National Guard to suppress his own supporters. It hardly matters that the initial flourish of aggression in that crowd was started by infiltrators. The spark may have not been ours, but the fire was. All that matters is that Trump, at that moment, found his supporters revolting, and he admonished them. He did not support them. That could have been the moment to spark the revolution. Trump had the power and the position to make it that moment. Instead, he capitulated and let what could have been the shot-heard-round-the-world go to waste: worse than waste, he let it become a moment that will now be turned against his supporters, used to further the agenda and control of his so-called political opponents. It is either the case that this was a total tactical gaff, or that Trump never had an interest in truly changing this election outcome.
What's more, he allowed Twitter to silence the account of the sitting U.S. President. Rather than use any kind of power to oppose this aggressive move (or really, any of those that have occurred in the leadup), Trump allowed it. Then he jumped through Twitter's hoops in order to get his account reinstated. In so doing he sends the confirmation that Twitter is the dominant power.
Moreover, he tweets that he will not be attending the inauguration. Forget this shallow statement of defiance, and focus on the fact that he used the word 'inauguration' and implied it was an event which was going to take place without him.
All of this says: there is no Trump-led revolution taking place. The moment came, and it went when Trump disavowed it, and disavowed his supporters. The objection consisting in, "He wants to do this the right way; using the Constitution," amounts to drooling nonsense. The acts themselves of the criminal cabal have eviscerated the Constitution. There is no reasonable way of thinking that says the Constitution is going to be successfully used to reverse this Leftist revolution.
We're beyond documents. The Constitution has authority when the People in this country give it that authority. We're in the territory of pure power. Changes at this point are coming behind moves of pure power. The Left is mobilizing the financial, activist, and media powers to move their agenda forward. Trump has the military. The rest of the rats have jumped ship. If Trump had been going to use his only power play remaining, he watched the flash point come and go. Not only did he not play his card, he used the National Guard to squelch the energy and morale of his own followers.
It's time to face the predicament we're in. You have no heroes: that isn't saying no heroes exist. But they don't work on Capitol Hill.
