Predictable? It's the first time the capital building was "taken" in over 200 years.

The fact that any of this can be at all shugged off as "predictable" or the natural end of events (which I'm honestly not disagreeing with) should make us all want to do an olympic dive into a wood chipper.

This is the real danger of events like today. Further radicalizes and divides.
Yup. These people will likely be a domestic terror threat for years to come.

i think this was ‘so easy’ because it was the sitting president’s supporters
any other group of meaningful size gets shut down by the FBI before this even gets close
this can only happen when a president abuses his power to betray his own country

You're kinda right, but for the wrong reasons. Why would the FBI or CIA shut this down? It's a gift to them. It's literally what they do all the time.

they were trying to say that Viking dude was BLM. It takes no effort whatsoever to disprove that. He's been active at these things for months lol.

I think there are photos of Nick Fuentes and other hard right figures there as well. I suspect they'll all be called leftist plants now.

People have been hurt on Wednesday and a great symbol of our republic desecrated. That’s not freedom of speech: it’s the work of thugs, mindless cretins who stride to the presiding officer’s chair in a chamber emptied by violence so they can mug for selfies.
Some protestors scream that the Capitol is the people’s house and that they are the people. That’s the language of the violent left, of anarchists and ANTIFA, not of law-abiding Americans who love their Constitution and country.

Let the civil war start, and let the insurrectionists lose.
