2. Is it a good thing the military steeled itself to resist coup-like moves from Trump? Sure. Is it a good thing to be in a position where the military is one of the chief bulwarks against a coup? No. It's terrible.

What other possible mechanism could there be? Ultimately it's the people with the guns who decide who's in charge. Maybe "official" command of the military should immediately transfer to the election winner.

If GOP had broken with Trump earlier and replaced him (with either 25 Amendment or impeachment), that would have been a good constitutional solution. Or Dem congress doing more investigation to make that possible. It was a system wide failure.
