While legal, that would've instigated the total chaos and civil war (that would have crippled or destroyed the country, permanently divided the country and resulted in many more deaths and made it "prime pickens" for foreign invaders) for which the DS had planned, hoped and expected. The insurrection act would also not have been accepted by the brainwashed, the sheeple and ignorant normies. As such, many of them would've seen it as a dictatorial/tyrannical overthrow by someone who couldn't accept losing and made all it look real via AI-generated confessions/trials/sentencings/executions. PDJT would also likely have been a virtual lame duck because of domestic strife/war and impeachments and other shenanigans designed to thwart his effectiveness that would have begun on Day 1 and continued non-stop until he either was removed from office, killed or his term ended. The country may not have survived.

MUCH has changed since 1/2021 to wake up people and make The People see how compromised, corrupt and evil practically EVERYTHING is (and has long-been). To name a few, in 1/2021:

*the economy wasn't in too bad a condition; The People didn't yet truly realize that "elections have consequences";

*child- and human-trafficking hadn't been adequately revealed;

*the pedo and trans agendas were still mostly "under-wraps";

*the 3 branches of government (legislative, executive and judicial) and administrative (alphabet, 3-letter) agencies hadn't yet shown themselves to be utterly corrupt;

*the 2-tier justice system and Dems'/uniparty's extensive use of lawfare against political opponents hadn't been revealed;

*the Dem/uniparty open-borders, illegal alien infestation and total disregard for law hadn't yet occurred;

*the Dem party's disregard for the democratic process to nominate their presidential and vice-presidential candidates hadn't occurred;

*government-sponsored media censorship and MSM corruption hadn't been proved;

*the medical industrial complex (plandemic and toxic jab) hadn't yet been revealed; and

*elections at ALL levels EVERYWHERE were not yet shown to be rigged/stolen.

PDJT's walking away (and, most likely, devolving government so everything didn't go to h-ll) was a strategically necessary move to garner widespread understanding and acceptance of what had been happening, what happened while he was out-of-office and what needs to be done to (begin to) rectify things. It also enabled the awakening, education and activation of The People as partners to save the country.
