Every revolutionary movement wants to eradicate the status quo by any means possible. The January 6 mob who stormed the capitol, either subliminally or literally, knew the election wasn't rigged. In fact,Trump had said many times that he would only accept the results if he was the winner. Trump is saying the same thing today. He proclaims people should vote for him, noting it will be the last time they will have to exercise this right. In essence any revolutionary stance is metaphysical since it's predicated on an ideal that transcends reality and hence empirical truth. That's the conflict with notions like democracy which are empirically based. Lenin was steely-eyed in his resolve as the sealed train approached the Finland Station to cite the title of Edmund Wilson's classic work.
