4. Chaos creates itself. TFG's M.O. has always been to keep throwing shit at the wall

until some of it sticks. His and his minions' "plan" to overturn the election started even before the election; they had already planned to challenge states' election results in court if Biden won. When that failed (60+ times) they went for the fake elector plan. When the states refused to accept the fake electors they hatched the plot for Mike Pence to refuse to certify the elector count. But they knew well before 1/6 that Pence wasn't on board, so they unleashed the MAGAts on the Capitol once it became clear that Congress was going to certify Biden's win. Trump wasn't the engineer - the engineering was done mostly by Steve Bannon and reprobate lawyers like Eastman - but he was the instigator. There are, of course, plenty of people who would have benefited by keeping TFG in power.
