That's about it!

You can't be serious that you though they were going to do anything other than voice their frustrations?

That's NUTS!
Many of them were looking for evidence of the election being stolen. They became players or avatars in the reality game they were playing.

Let just see what happens if a group Breaks In to Lago-Mar or GOP Headquarters how it is handled...

Their just voicing "their frustrations' but when people choose to protest peacefully over racial injustices or other social issues they're referred to as unrest, rioting, Qanon, Antifa. But this rabble is just saying "Hey people, don't forget about us. We're still here. We're not happy about the 2020 election", spare me..

I can tell you that from my POV I was never concerned with the overthrow of the government as it was happening. That’s just silly. What I was more concerned with was the backlash and what the media and the establishment would do with it. Also, this asymmetrical war where everything is subjective to the establishment will not end well.

Did you see the guy on the Senate floor saying “well now that we’re here we should setup a government”?

Because Trump told them to. They went home when he told them to. It’s just unfortunate his fragile ego didn’t permit him to issue that order sooner.

It wasn’t preplanned by most of the people there to attack Congress so that’s why they didn’t bring guns.

NO!

When people BURN DOWN INNOCENT BUSINESSES, TAKE OVER CITY BLOCKS, AND SHOOT PEOPLE DEAD,

We call them riots.

NOT because of what they were "protesting." BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY DID!

Do you understand this????

What did you think they were attempting to do on Jan. 6?

It would be nice if the left was so adamant about those rioting for the left, breaking into federal building while people are in them and trying to burn the building down.....All it shows is they agree with what they were/are doing.

Could anyone imagine what would happen with the media and the left if a bunch of trump supporters took a city hostage for months, kicked out the police etc....but again, the left agrees with chaz/chop whatever the heck it's called....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

This is a joke right? A guy in a buffalo suit stands and the podium and says "well now we should set up a government"

ONE GUY! IN A BUFFALO SUIT! UNARMED!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Here's what Trump LITERALLY said (stop making things up):

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,"


You people truly have WILD imaginations!
