An actual coup requires military support (or the FBI, CIA, etc.). Did Trump or the rioters get (or even try to get) any military support. Of course, not. Riots are not 'coups'. To launch a 'coup' in a well-armed country, you need guns (the support of people with guns). Trump never even tried to get the support of the support of people with guns. Of course, you can still have riots. For example, the US had BLM riots in 2020.
A 'coup' can't happen without the support of the 'guys with guns'. Did Trump attempt to enlist the 'guys with guns'? No. Will that dent your fantasies? Probably not. Quote from General Milley (hardly a Trump supporter). "You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with the guns". The 'coup attempt' only exists in your imagination. The riot on 2021/1/6 was actually the end of the world. The riots in 2020 we just 'mostly peaceful protests'. Now we know.
Democrats clearly don't believe their own hype about Trump or any of thier opposition candidates. Every Republic is pilloried as the new coming of Hitler, and yet each one is claimed to some how be worse than the last. This has already started with DeSantis, yes the DeSantis is worse than Trump propaganda has started. The Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places is the best allegory for American politics I have ever seen.
Maybe, just maybe, Democrats aren’t any more concerned about the fate of liberal democracy in the United States than Republicans and only want to be in a position to snatch up the political pieces if, or when, it crumbles?
I'm hard-pressed to believe that this tactic worked in Illinois as well considering the margin Bailey won by. I do think that Irvin would have had a decent shot at beating Pritzker though, or at least giving him a race, which would have actually been good for the state.

The Democrats seem to be doing everything in their power to put the Republicans back in charge.
