So the plan was to rile up the lowlifes, use that as an excuse to declare martial law?

Then switch ballots? I hope all the dumb shit patsies realize they were just cannon fodder. Those who participated need to go to jail and all those who supported it from afar should open their eyes and see they were set up.

That is not something that you want to live under and that would affect them as much as it would us.

that a dictator would likely take their guns away. Seems to me that a dictatorship would not go well in a country with 300 million guns in the hands of the people.

Their outsized egos will create more palatable alternate facts.

Counter protestors would potentially give them cover to call out the military.

Fortunately, nobody other than TFG supporters showed up.

might hit paydirt. I don't even think one plan was backing up another. It was if A can be achieved, then B or C might succeed, but D is ruled out because such and such didn't happen. For example, the bombs were discovered late morning early afternoon and defused by around 4pm I think I read. So that prevented a lot of rumors and chaos. Antifa didn't show up (why would they - to protest Joe Biden's victory???) so martial law became more than a bit of overreach and unwarranted. From what we know they could have prevented certification by Pence's absence, or they could have substituted ballots.
