You’re right. Except for they’d have half of America rooting for them.
I have to agree in general with these concerns and it basically points to only one possible solution, an emergency pro-freedom government along the lines of Pinochet on the assumption that there may still be some loyal elements left in the armed forces.
This would need to happen fairly soon, the time left to act against these emboldened adversaries is very short (months not years). Waiting for 2022/2024 gains that may not come for various reasons including fraud and demographics seems risky compared to the alternative.
