How is it naive? Americans have allegiance to the Constitution, not to whoever happens to be sitting in the seat of government. This is foundational to thinking of your average American.

And yeah there would probably be some nation-wide violence in response and some laws passed that would push the limits of what the Supreme Court would allow.

It doesn't mean that people would follow the idiots who did the shooting.

Polling says ~70% of Republicans, or over one third of all Americans, think the 2020 election was stolen.[0] That's a lot of people who disagree over what "allegiance to the constitution" means.
