To be clear: Trump would love to pull off a coup d'état but he doesn't have the ability.
Pinochet had the army with him.
Trump couldn't even strongarm Ukraine (a vulnerable country) without getting caught and stopped.
Trump's skill: lying and controlling the narrative.

Guiliani and Trump kicked off Operation Ukraine Shakedown after the 2018 midterms, when the writing was on the wall: They would lose the election.
The plan was for Ukraine to launch an "investigation" into Biden, who Trump correctly assessed would be his opponent.

If it looks like a coup might succeed, yes. But there are no signs that Trump can actually pull anything off.
Right now taking to the streets will create more chaos that will play into Trump's hands, so I respectfully disagree.

Precisely.
Trump lost the election. Taking to the streets gives him an opportunity to take action.
Why should we help Trump escalate a situation and cause trouble?

I agree.
Americans voted for Biden because they are tired of chaos.
I believe @stuartpstevens who said (in his book, It Was All A Lie) most Republican elected leaders know Trump isn't up for the job.

Listen, if it were so easy to circumvent an American election and install the losing candidate—why would the Republicans do it in 2020 with Trump, in the middle of a pandemic?
From @stuartpstevens book, It Was All A Lie⤵️
Most GOP leaders don't even like him.

Not every voter who voted for Trump is part of the cult or willing to throw out the Constitution for him.
The number of people who think Trump actually won is fairly small, last I heard, about 20%, probably the same number that thinks the moon landing was fake.

Thanks. That's right. (I saw the same poll. I need more ☕️; still early in CA)
A good portion of "the results aren't yet known" people will change their minds when the results are certified.
