Close the 40 foot space between Mike Pence, the President of the Senate and the Proud Boys; then what?

• Proud boys say "hey we were just kidding" and they go home?
• Arizona's alternate slate of electors also leave their DC Hotel and also just go home?
• Someone files a lawsuit, gets it to the US Supreme Court, argues the case and gets a ruling certifying the vote?

In what alternate reality do you not find the actual sacking of our Capital and execution of a plan to maintain power, by every definition a coup, not serious?

Are you disappointed that Pence and other genuine conservatives stood their ground despite the very proximate threat?

Hitler, Putin, and recently Viktor Orbán won their popular elections then just decided to stay in office. That is exactly what Trump intended to do.
