    I agree, it annoys me that people act like this was a 9/11 scale attack on our government.

    Was it bad? Yes. Do I disagree with their motivations and actions? Yes. Do I think they actually planned to actually overthrow anything? No. As shitty as it was it wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been. Imagine if even 1/10 of them had planned to bring/use rifles, molotovs etc.

    If they wanted to throw down they would have, but they didn’t, and I’m thankful for that. Same goes for the Capitol Police.

      Their laughable incompetence and chaotic organization doesn’t change their intentions to stop the legitimate certification of the election. This was absolutely a massive attack on our Democratic system of governance. The fact that it was attempted by disorganized idiots doesn’t change that fact.

      We got lucky.
