The following text appeared in the “AI Generated” response to the Google search of the so-called, “Beer Hall Putsch” that I conducted on the morning of January 6, 2025:
“The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, was a failed coup d’état attempt by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party on November 8–9, 1923:
Goals
The Nazis planned to overthrow the Weimar Republic, seize control of the state government, and march on Berlin. They also wanted to establish a new government based on race and create a unified Greater German Reich. …
Aftermath
Hitler was charged with treason and sentenced to five years in prison, but was released after nine months.”
There is a link to Wikipedia description of the event below. The piece is fairly long, but those who haven’t studied the history of the Nazi rise to power may find it of interest. I do note three brief parts of the Wikipedia entry, as it existed on the morning of January 6, 2025:
“The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, was a failed coup d’é·tat by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders in Munich, Bavaria, on 8–9 November 1923, during the Weimar Republic. Approximately two thousand Nazis marched on the Feldherrnhalle, in the city centre, but were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the deaths of 15 Nazis, four police officers, and one bystander.”
Second, elsewhere in the entry, Hitler is quoted as declaring to rally his supporters on the night of the putsch, “One last thing I can tell you. Either the German revolution begins tonight or we will all be dead by dawn!”
Finally, the section entitled, “Legacy,” provides in part:
“The 15 fallen insurgents, as well as the bystander Karl Kuhn, were regarded as the first “blood martyrs” of the Nazi Party …”
“Shortly after [Hitler] came to power, a memorial was placed at the south side of the Feldherrnhalle crowned with a swastika. The back of the memorial read Und ihr habt doch gesiegt! (‘And you triumphed nevertheless!’).”
That’s what I worry about happening in 4 yrs. This term could be all about Trump and his followers preparing for a putsch moment at the end of his Presidency. God save us all, the United States and the world.

As to the subject of your comment: I don’t think the MAGAs are waiting for the end of Trump’s presidency to take over; I think they’re taking over now. It is what it is.

My view: if something walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck — particularly when there is surrounding evidence — one is able to draw a conclusion.
