The plan was to break in, have Trump declare them heroes who saved democracy, then have the military and police protect them as they dissolved congress. Trump’s a dumbass though so none of that happened and they look like morons
The missing element would have been a loyal military. He had loyal police, apparently. But there is a reason they call it “military coup”. You need the most powerful force backing the new leadership.
