What's amusing is that you actually think it was ordinary Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol.
Consider the pattern of behavior we've seen over the past 12 months:
- In January 2020, 20,000+ heavily-armed Trump supporters occupied the Capitol in Richmond, VA. They honestly believed their Second Amendment rights were being stolen from them (and the VA legislature eventually proved them right). They were angry and extremely desirous of change in the legislature. Not a single shot was fired. Not a single window was broken. Not a single fire was lit.
- In May 2020, hundreds of armed protesters occupied the steps of the Capitol in Lansing, MI to protest draconian lockdown orders from Gov. Whitmer. The people were pissed off, and rightly so, after months of closed businesses, unemployment, and sheer hostility from the governor's office. No shots were fired. No windows broken. No fires lit.
Meanwhile...
- On Nov. 5, protesters in Portland forced the mayor and governor to
respond to riots that broke out over Trump's challenges of the integrity of the election.
- Anti-Trump activists
threatened rioting before the election was even over, threatening to tear the city down if Trump won the election.
Who has a history of peaceful protest? Who has a history of violent protest?
People don't change behavior patterns easily, and groups of people are damned-near immovable when it comes to behaior patterns.
Bur for some reason, Trump supporters decided today to completely contradict historical patterns, bust out windows*, and storm a government building? I don't think so.
* Seriously. Did you see how fucking EASY it was to breach the windows to the Capitol? One of the most important buildings in our capital, the building that houses the Legislature of the United Fucking States of America, was breached with a plastic shield in about 2 minutes. I smell bullshit. This shit was set up. Meanwhile, too many simpletons are just gorging themselves at the leftist media trough that is all too willing to feed them the narrative.
