They can try. Were it to come to that, they are badly outgunned and outnumbered.
Only if the police and military don't side with them... and there is a rage against the machine song that comes to mind about that.
The police are bastards but the military will side with whatever side doesn't insight violence. That's not the Republicans.
There were definitely a lot of military people amongst the Jan 6 insurrection. Plus we have footage of law enforcement letting them in.
