Trombly states that the failed coup was dangerous, but that the mob was unable to reach its goal of overturning the US election due to lack of organization and the exercise of \u201clow-intensity violence\u201d. However, if the US far-right would have been more organized and disciplined, he assures that a movement could have emerged out of the violent actors to pursue their failed coup attempt. Trombly further compares the storming of the Capitol with protests in Europe and the 2011 coup in Egypt, and claims that in the former case, the demonstrators were unwilling to engage in gun battles to avoid to \u201ctake it to the next level\u201d. Further, he states that most far-rightists lack the \u201cskills necessary to successfully challenge the state\u201d, including being incautious by making themselves easily identifiable. It is because of successful government authorities, who so far have been able to prevent highly organized lethal far-right groups, that the far-right violence in the US remains mainly mass shootings conducted by \u201clone wolves\u201d. However, due to individual attacks, it is hard for the state to detect far-right communities and subcultures. The author concludes by stating that the far-right movement \u201ccannot be reduced to a criminal or national security problem\u201d and that it is a political challenge like all other movements. He adds that the challenge from January 6<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> shows that even a disorganized coup can shock the political system of the
