Brett..have you seen the actual list of "weaponry that almost overthrew the US Government"...?

not one single firearm was taken from any of the MAGA Protesters while on the campus grounds.
Well excuse me....there WAS a single firecracker.... 
I understand that perfectly, this threat was played up to make maximum political hay off it. *Exactly the sort of emotionalism I was warning about earlier*! That's what the left does.
But, regardless of the actual threat posed, *you can't attempt to disrupt the legitimate business of government*, no matter how mad you are or how screwed you got. Even if you look at it as legitimate protest, which I don't, it was tactically pathetic, doomed to fail, and a strategic disaster. Because, while it is overblown by the usual forces, *they did actually, undeniably, attempt to enter congress and disrupt/stop a legitimate legal proceeding*, undermining any point they might have had. It is utterly absurd to think they could accomplish *anything*, it was never, ever, going to happen, an where are we now?
Protests are fine, there are plenty of public streets in DC. Entering or attempting to enter the capitol to undo a vote is out of the question, it would be/should be unspeakable, out of the question.
The election was over when the Georgia and Pennsylvania votes were certified, nothing in the world was going to change it afterwards, and if you attempt to, you are violating every principle of representative democracy/the republican ideal. That is far more important than any individual politician's fate. Trump or any other politician are means to an end, not the goal itself.
This episode set back the cause of constitutional conservatism by 25 years. Fortunately, the left is, as usual, going out of their way to step on their own puds, and they are so completely obnoxious (see above) that they will screw it up again soon enough.
