These were people who came specifically for thee Stop the Steal protest. Nobody was planning on storming that day until they blocked the crowd in the road from getting close to the capitol and people started pushing. And then Mike Pence basically said he was going to respect the fraudulent count. That news spread through the crowd and then it became an event where actual citizen's arrests were attempted to be made. By fuckin boomers on a wednesday. These were the people the internet makes fun of for inaction. Imagine if people came ready for such an event, in the numbers we saw that day. In terms of it's ultimate outcome, there are the physical events the happened, and the immaterial effects on politics, and culture in the US. In terms of physical, not much did come out of it. The guy that stole Nancy Peolsi's laptop was murdered, but if he was able to hand it off, there'd be a lot of good done there. What is tangible is that a group of pissed off people were able to rush one of the most secure buildings in the US. The immaterial that you don't want to discuss: The imagery of Biden's inauguration, surrounded by pissed off national guard troops. The event showed people how close a civil war really is. And it showed who thee cowards are, the people saying "NOOO! Don't commit felonies against our masters!" The event was very telling.
