Being too stupid and lazy to accomplish something doesn't mean he isn't trying.

The fake electors bit seals it for me. In court they tried to say "oh they legitimately thought the election was stolen" then it came out that actually, they had fake electors in place. If Mike Pence had played ball they stood a very good chance of stalling things indefinitely if not seizing power completely. They could've pushed it to SCOTUS and let them end any recounts a la Bush v. Gore circa 2000.

These people are dangerous. They're well-funded and their ideology and talking points have been refined by ivy league educated thinkers.

OK, yes. The people around Trump could be dangerous. But if they were successful, wouldn't they have done more in Trumps first term?
