I think Trump hoped January 6th to be that sort of event, but it failed miserably. It failed because the only people willing to do anything about it were the chuds that showed up to his rally. They lacked any kind of shared political theory or goals. Some were there to have fun, some were there because they believed in Qanon, some wanted a christofacist dictatorship, and some thought they could fix the "voting irregularities" and go back to being a representative democracy. All those same impediments exist today for any kind of dismantling driven by citizens.
It could still happen if Trump suddenly got institutional backing for such a thing, like from the military, courts and big business, but it seems super unlikely. The bourgeoisie gets everything they need from both parties, why send America into economic chaos to keep one dipshit in charge?
And? Allende was elected president and commander in chief and got disposed by his own general. Pakistan’s military sabotage Khan’s government. Titles are just words until you have influence. Trump has immense influence, but not enough to deploy troops to stop voters

but that's not really backing, that's legitimacy theater. a big enough faction has to back you to be a

Do you really think they would follow those orders? I don't, and I don't think Trump thinks that, or he already would have made that order.
Which happened in 2016 and we still don't have a dictator
