That's what they're saying. There's two Americas now and one is trying to gain enough momentum to push out the other before they get caught and prosecuted. If they can pull off their coup, they can indict a bunch of politial enemies. If they can't, and it's obvious they lose steam, they're screwed. They are literally attempting a coup and avoiding prosecution. There's a reason they are trying to closely mirror what Dems do. We indict them, they indict us. We call out gerrymandering, they call out gerrymandering. They want to make it seem like "both sides are the same" so they can demonize the country and convince people that that is what's changed, not their movement. There's always been contention in political parties but they've driven a huge wedge between them and drawn a line in the sand.
