What would a successful January 6 insurrection have looked like?

Executions of Pence, Pelosi, others?

If successful, would you have taken over Senate and House and tossed all Democrats out? Killed them?

Would trump have been named president by fiat and was he ready to make a speech to that effect?

Was trump prepared to declare martial law, and who in the DoD would have followed those orders?

Would DoD trump supporters have executed senior DoD officials who were not trumpists?

Were you prepared to somehow shut down US media?

Add to the list.
