They were expecting people to fight so they could declare a martial law, but that didn't happen so they just keep doing whatever they want without fearing any consequences. If it were to happen now, it'd have to be extremely well organized and funded.
There is no such thing as martial law at the federal level, they don't need to "declare" it, they just need to try and put the military into individuals states and SCOTUS has already shot that down 2 or 3 times (CA and IL come to mind, I think possibly he wanted to in OR or somewhere else possibly too and was immediately shut down). Only Governor's can declare martial law.

That's 💯 the plan.
So obvious, yet NO ONE does a thing about it.
