So the parallel fails at the critical point: no large disciplined
group of thugs designated as Republican Party security to carry out
Trump's will.

Trump attempted in 2020 in Oregon to use Federal police to shut down
demonstrations and he mostly got away with it.

I think that use was actually constitutional although the courts never
got a chance to rule on it.  I don't think it -should- be constitutional
however.
