The coup has already happened. They’re just trying to find a way of either invalidating all future elections (emergency powers), or rigging them such that they establish a permanent Republican ascendancy.

If successful, future elections will become purely performative, a thin veneer of legitimacy over an explicitly engineered conclusion. America will cease to be a democracy in everything but name. And as North Korea, China, and East Germany have shown, names can be worthless.
