And now he wants a rubber stamp Senate?

Indeed it is one of the three reasons for the 2nd. If the people perceive Trump as a despotic tyrant usurping our democracy and denying us our rights as Americans we have the right to take up arms against him if all else fails. Afterall, it's why we rebelled against that despot George III. However, Trump doesn't come close to meeting this bar and if the head spinning fools take up arms to try and overthrow our president they will be deservedly crushed.
FWIW, a snowball has a better chance of surviving in hell than Trump has of obtaining a rubber stamp Senate. I'm also pretty sure that what's left of our democracy will survive Trump's FBI vendetta.
