TBH if that's the totality of the battle plan, that's fantastic news. It only came so close to working last time because he had his hands on the levers of executive power, and could thus disable/sideline all of the usual law enforcement while the barrage of baseless court cases were being used to swing public opinion.

But really the only way we're going to get out of this shitfuck of a mess is for Trumpism to be resoundingly rebuked at the ballot box. The Republican party needs to choke on the disastrous results of this festering radical populist destruction that they had been stoking but containing for decades (eg rush Limbaugh), until it finally escaped.

And please don't read my comment thinking I'm sitting here positively pro-Democrat or pro-system. As a libertarian, I've got many indictments of the current corporatist anti-individual-freedom system, the two party duopoly, the "deep state", etc. But staring down the choice of the destruction of the American bureaucracy in favor of cult of personality autocracy, I've begrudgingly had to choose the solidly conservative choice of bureaucracy. And I'm willing to admit that it had been far too easy to take it for granted.
