I keep bringing up the Reichstag fire metaphor on various media but that takes patience because it is very clear that few know the history of anything that's farther away than their own backyard.
I suppose that the tale of how Hitler used the false flag fire to blame those he held as "others" and then used those "others" to propel him further up the pyramid of power: that whole sordid story has to be driven into the minds of the current population. If the Jan. 6th riot had not been so badly planned, Trump might have gotten his very visible and suspect "others" against whom to ignite a campaign of revenge.
But 45 dropped the ball. It was a mob of his own who took the fall and, so, he didn't get his ideal scapegoats. Fortunately. It may have been said before in different words: Trump couldn't run a government but, neither could he ruin one.
