No. If they are in the right place at the right time one tenth that
number would be more than sufficient to have a successful coup d'état,
and the Capitol Building in Washington DC on January 6, 2021 was just
such a time and place. And It is no coincidence that is when and where
Donald Trump chose to give the most inflammatory speech of his life
and whip a mob into a frenzy and order them to march on the Capitol
Building. And it almost worked, if the capital police had been a few
minutes slower Trump's thugs could have not only stopped the
certification for the next President they could have held the entire
US house of representatives, the entire US Senate, and the Vice
President of the United States hostage. Or they could've decided to
just hang them all. They were all terrified, even being a Republican
fascist dimwit was no guarantee of safety from a mob filled with
adrenaline and bloodlust. Remember U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde who claimed
the mob was just acting like respectful tourists, well that certainly
wasn't the way he felt on January 6! There are pictures of him
frantically piling up furniture to block a doorway in an attempt to
stop the rampaging mob from getting their hands on him.
A Republican congressman who denied there was an insurrection and
likened Capitol rioters to tourists was photographed barricading the
chamber doors against them

then in history, the man stumbled into the US presidency and then
stumbled back out. Now that would be some anomaly!/
To refuteyour contention that it takes intelligence to gain political
power in the US I need onlypoint to US congressman Louie Gohmert, the
only man in Washington even stupider than Trump.
"As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more
and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and
glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire
at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
