IMO It's a bit naive to compare 1848-1849, one of the most revolutionary periods of history, to the present moment. A Trump coup doesn't align with a historical materialist analysis because there's no segment of capital that truly gains anything from installing him over Joe Biden. Napoleon III toppled a fledgling republic where no faction had firmly entrenched itself at the helm. A Trump coup is not impossible, but it would be up against some of the most entrenched nodes of power on the planet.
