It would have been the biggest thing since 9/11. There wouldn't be no business as usual the next day, and you know it. And who knows if it wouldn't have sparked a lot more violence.
If the mob had been broken up and the leaders arrested? LoL - no, it would have made the "movement" seem as small and insignificant as it actually is - which is why the Capitol police stood down and allowed the Capitol to be occupied for a few hours. Try and imagine if the police had cordoned the flow of people to reinforced positions and segmented the crowd with tear gas. The thing that makes it a story is the couple dozen people assaulting a cop and the mob wandering through the Capitol. Angry mob broken up on the steps is less news than Portland Protests.
you're buying the MSM narrative about how many people are willing to start a revolution for Trump. He lost the majority of his base in the aftermath of Jan6, he would have lost it a lot faster if the mob had been dealt with in the same manner as George Floyd mobs.
Your fucking capitol was stormed by a mob while a lot high ranking politicians were inside, not some empty Wal-Mart. It's naturally a big story and not just about Trump.
our Capitol was "stormed" by a group of Progressives to block a SCOTUS confirmation, too. With a lot of high-ranking officials inside.
If the cops stand aside and let protestors in, voicing support for the legality of their actions, it's not a "storming"....It's a Tour Gone Wild.
Throwing in some guy that didn't even make it to ring the door on a justice's house as a bigger story is a bit baffling bruv.
Easy, Captain Gaslight, it was
@Freeloading Rusty that brought that guy in to the conversation. No one has said it's a bigger story, you just made that up. No one has said its the same thing, some people have drawn parallels between how the Left and Right leadership encourage activities that are a threat to the function of democracy. Whether it's encouraging people to smash gov't buildings in Portland or in DC, they both do it, and morons lap it up as evidence that the other side is more Evil than their own.
