What would success have looked like? Stealing the original copy of the constitution and using whiteout to change the bits they didn't like?

Success for them would have looked like apprehending the legislature and coercing them into throwing out the votes of states that didn't go to Trump. And this is charitably assuming that their chants of "hang Mike Pence", along with the gallows they erected out front, might have only been for show.

If oblivious sarcasm is your only recourse for when you have nothing left to contribute to an argument, then I accept your concession.

Yelling at the top of your lungs that cosplayers are a real danger to the biggest superpower on the planet makes you either dishonest or insane.
Either of those precludes a good faith argument.
