The Logical Basis of a Coup d'Etat

Much like the tormented phenomenology of quantum physics, with its dimensions and strings and symmetries, there is a logic behind the attempts by lame duck president Trump and his supporters to overthrow the government of the United States. It goes something like this:

We support the Constitution (except when it's, you know, inconvenient), therefore

We support the electoral process - when it isn't fraudulent.

The 2020 presidential (although not, oddly, any down ballot races) election WAS fraudulent because,

Although there is no documentary proof of fraud, it is SELF EVIDENT (as in "these truths") that Trump was such an objectively great and popular president that no fair election could possibly have resulted in anything but a decisive victory for him (or is it Him?).

Therefore there was fraud and corruption on a grand scale (but only in the states that Trump lost).

I have to admit: it makes about as much sense as quarks.
