I am more concerned about the Insurrection, but that's because it was a threat to democracy in this country. - 1pg

You see this conclusion often, the J6 insurrection was a threat to our democracy. But how realistic was that threat. The liberals like to stop at the point - J6 = end of democracy or J6 = we will live in a dictatorship, etc. For a liberal, that is a good stopping point because demonizing Trump is a reward unto itself, or condemning republicans to the point of them never winning another election is a worthy achievement even though that by itself is the very definition of the end of our democracy.
But lets make a thought experiment and assume the J6 insurrectionists did take over the capital and held it for one two or six months. What the hell, lets toss in even assassinated a few legislators or Mike Pence or Nancy Pelosi. Trump makes a Triumphant return and declares himself president and suspends future elections under Marshall law.
Now these events would be horrific beyond description. But have we really lost our democracy? The liberals seem to assume, Yes.
While all this is playing out, what does our military have to say about it? And all the national guards from the various states? And the citizens themselves. I don't think many would say, "OK fine". So my opinion is, as bad as J6 was, to say it would be the of our democracy is alarmist and pre-mature by a long long shot.
