    Or the military command structure fractures and now they have several warring regional or state fractions/civil war, or the military leadership enacts a coup when given illegal orders and either holds executive under military threat or hands control back to the legislature or judicial to hold a special election.

    They are unable to see any of these unintended possible consequences of their actions, the same way they are unable to identify irony, or have empathy, or entertain hypotheticals.

      holds executive under military threat or hands control back to the legislature or judicial to hold a special election.

      With the actual past insurrection supporters currently in control of the legislature and the judiciary, I wonder if this would be the final thing that triggers action on their part to preserve the country, or would they simply hand the reigns of power back to copycats of the ones that fomented the first insurrection.
