That's how I'd say it 
WaterMan always maintained that the institutions would hold.
At the end of the day, it’s the people in the institutions that stopped these crazy coup losers.
Happy Hokidays to you and yours 
Had a good one Christmas Day. The only day roads were clear enough to travel.
But I really think we are turning the corner. Inflation is easing off, the economy is changing drastically, will do more as those new companies come online. The whole work force is changing.
We had many break throughs in Science. Cancer cure is one.
We have a President we can be proud of. Even the media is talking about how Joe Biden has low ratings but then accomplishes much more than anyone with help from Republicans. The media has decided to do some soul searching about how they covered Politics. Do you think they will ever admit they lied? Hah, that will be the day!
So I wil take this minute to wish you and all posters one of the best New Years, ever! 
No debate here.
Just helping the other responder to grasp that you weren't calling the J6 Committee a "coup of fools".
I referenced not having a dog in the "discussion" fight, not the fight to save our democracy or your original points.
Jesus Christ, we at DU spend a shit-ton of time 'splaining and re-'splaining when folks don't read posts for comprehension.
Follow the response sub-thread and you'll get what was happening between the other responder and me.
To underscore what you wrote - we saw Shrub's use of it on 9/11 as the proof. I.e., excerpt from a book done by a former Politico editor ("The Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11" ) -
Where was the president in the eight hours after the Sept. 11 attacks? The strange, harrowing journey of Air Force One, as told by the people who were on board.
By GARRETT M. GRAFF
September 09, 2016
Nearly every American above a certain age remembers precisely where they were on September 11, 2001. But for a tiny handful of people, those memories touch American presidential history. Shortly after the attacks began, the most powerful man in the world, who had been informed of the World Trade Center explosions in a Florida classroom, was escorted to a runway and sent to the safest place his handlers could think of: the open sky.
For the next eight hours, with American airspace completely cleared of jets, a single blue-and-white Boeing 747, tail number 29000—filled with about 65 passengers, crew and press, and the 43rd president, George W. Bush, as well as 70 box lunches and 25 pounds of bananas—traversed the eastern United States. On board, President Bush and his aides argued about two competing interests—the need to return to Washington and reassure a nation and the competing need to protect the commander in chief. All the while, he and his staff grappled with the aftermath of the worst attack on American soil in their lifetimes, making crucial decisions with only flickering information about the attacks unfolding below. Bush struggled even to contact his family and to reach Vice President Dick Cheney in the White House bunker.
The story of those remarkable hours—and the thoughts and emotions of those aboard—isolated eight miles above America, escorted by three F-16 fighters, flying just below the speed of sound, has never been comprehensively told.
This oral history, based on more than 40 hours of original interviews with more than two dozen of the passengers, crew and press aboard—including many who have never spoken publicly about what they witnessed that day—traces the story of how an untested president, a sidearm-carrying general, top aides, the Secret Service and the Cipro-wielding White House physician, as well as five reporters, four radio operators, three pilots, two congressmen and a stenographer responded to 9/11.

From what I understand, it can be refueled mid-air as well (although supposedly the new ones won't thanks to bullshit done by 45 but I bet that might change given what happened on 1/6 and as it is, Boeing's work on the new plane has only progressed in fits and starts). I discovered they also have some of these for comms (from here) -
The United States Air Force also has a set of four E-4Bs. Referred to as "The Doomsday Plane," these Boeing 747-200s have been modified to support the military's emergency communications needs and allow the country's most senior military officials to stay in charge and control during a doomsday-magnitude crisis.

just as it has in my memories post-Nixon. I still suspect Nixon's failure was a wake-up call for right-wing billionaires to open the floodgates of money with no moral restrictions to slowly undermine the U.S. Government.
I agree with you and others posting here that an instant takeover of our government is nearly impossible, perhaps other than by nuclear armageddon.
The most absurd parts of the J6 rally are that it was entirely based on the Big Lie and yet tRump was able to attract hundreds of citizens to travel to Washington D.C. and endanger their futures based on that lie.
But what we must work to stop and reverse is:
* that slow corrosion of fear and hatred they promote that divides us like never before,
* right-wing administrative occupation of almost all of our public and social media,
* absurd, astronomical amounts of money being poured into our elections, and
* GOP non-stop lying to - and deceiving of - our general public with no consequences.
