I don't think their plans were really all that good in the first place. They still would lose, but it would be a more costly loss for all involved.
Consider - Hillary was supposed to lose via "russian" hackers, making Trump and his supporters national security threats and throw the military into confusion. Consider that the case for Trump and his supporters being rooskies would need to be much stronger than just things like the steele dossier if you want the military to have any kind of movement toward domestic policing.
While people like millet are woke walrus whores, they are a minority of the military and getting a true suppression of trumpism from a political standpoint requires more for the general staff than media fanfare that can confuse all the normies.
But this wouldn't have changed the underlying political ideologies. Rare would be the person who saw the "trump is a russian asset who stole the election" narrative succeed and say "gosh, I guess I am wrong about my views on government." At best, there could have been a bit of a chilling effect, but you would quite possibly have seen a fracture of the military under that scenario as there were many who would have risked treason to prevent a hillary presidency.
Keep in mind that they are basically accusing Trump of what they planned to try using Hillary - and failed.
They would have tried stirring up shit in Syria and still released covid - but I don't see a situation in which this would have gone especially well for them. At best, it would simply have been more destructive to everyone and they would still have more people enthralled under their 'spell.'
The damage to infrastructure would have been immense, many of their fiercest opponents are the most productive people whose abdication of their job and even turning on it to deny the infrastructurento them would knock us back to the horse and buggy. Or… More likely some weird post-collapse world where we live like Eastern Europe amid the ruins of the Roman empire - or the Inner Sphere amid the ruins of the Star League.
Trump kind of forced the mask off of them and his relative success sidelined the most dangerous parts of their plan and forced them to try and work it in otherwise.
As "bad" as the January 6th 'riot' was - it was easy enough to subvert. How absurd is it that the democrats have no choice but to use it as their rallying event - and it is on the level of a frat party?
When you have their playbook, you don't prevent them from taking their moves. You can't take away the opponent's right to vote on how the battle unfolds. You just make sure they have plenty of assistance in moving the way that best suits you.
Wei Wu Wei is the concept. Rather than hard countering everything, you simply make little twists or slight turns in the course of destiny to make things happen smoothly and efficiently.
The types who believe they can control fate and destiny fundamentally reject the idea that there is such a thing as underlying fate/destiny and think the world is free for the taking - that they are unbound from everything if only they have enough power.
But a true sage, one who has grasped the divine insight, knows that a carefully timed interuption from a beggar can change the course of nations - and has no scruples acting as beggar or HuanDai if the role is required.
That is the funny thing about the Chinese pantheon - many of their divines seem to revere the lives of mortals - often choosing to live among and phase between the living. The old man playing a game outside the equivalent of a diner may be the Jade Emperor looking to have a chat with people … Because why not?
And then you have the myths of the zodiac… Of them, my favorite is the order of the zodiac and the dragon's role. Effectively God decides to hold a race to determine the order - and the dragon decides to do almost everything but the race - not caring what position he comes in. "Okay, god, yes - I came in fifth. While you were having this race, I was answering prayers for rain and saving a rabbit from drowning - oh, here he is now. Priorities. Do you have them?"
