Jan 6th would be the Beer Hall Putsch. Notable this time round for no legal consequences for the main character. A Reichstag Fire would be an inciting event early in the next term, committed by a member of a regime out-group, used to justify radically increasing authoritarian and prejudicial rule. Given the events of the last few weeks, it feels like there will be plentiful opportunities if wanted.

Jan 6th gets a lot of attention. But the Bush v Gore Florida count seems to have been completely forgotten. It ushered in what is quite arguably the worst Presidency in modern history. Jan 6th was blunt and obvious but Florida 2000 was far more surreptitious. I think it deserves more attention. https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/10/politics/supreme-court-split-54-halts-florida-count-in-blow-to-gore.html https://www.nytimes.com/2000/12/10/politics/supreme-court-sp...
