You guys voted to have the republican being the majority in both the house and the senate, get the presidency and also, indirectly, the supreme court.
That is democracy in action. If the military intervened right now it would just look like a coup. You can't really be surprised that the people you put in power do what they say they were going to do.
Now if they try to do something like the January 6 again, that is something else.

This is exactly what was happening and precisely one of the reasons Trump got elected. His electorate might not be surprised, but the anti-Trump (those who are so by emotion, not because they understand) are completely shocked he is doing exactly what he said he would. It's like to them the principle of how democracy is actually supposed to work is very novel.
