It didn't work well because Trump didn't prepare well, seeming to genuinely believe that he could deploy his dealmaking skills to convince various decisionmakers to fabricate an election victory. Now he is in control of the military, has extensively replaced its professional leadership with toadies, and National Guard troops from states he considers to be politically reliable have been deployed in Washington for the past 8 months.

I think it compares quite well, and I worry that the same quislings who refuse to see it are going to be there in 2028 insisting that we should just let him cancel the election results to avoid bloodshed.
