We have one threshold yet to pass.
Right now the Trump presidency can still avoid being imprisoned for their actions. The final step of these events is that armed protestors will meat armed soliders in a standoff and shots will be fired by someone perhaps accidentally leading to panic and a massacre of the protestors. At that point the government likely goes to jail or worse if they give up power and there is no out.
If you look at the French from like 1790 to 1850 it happens like 10 times resulting in either regime change or consolidation of power. Up to that point there appear to be off ramps to diffuse the situation but after that the train is on its course.
