Storming the capitol will get you shot with overwhelming force... just not if you're a far-right extremist - that kind of treatment is historically reserved for the leftists and minorities fighting for equal treatment.
And Babbit has been made into a right-wing martyr. Secret Service took their job seriously and fired once the house chamber itself was being actively breached. Capitol Police were in a shit position without backup, and the backlash against the whistleblowers who called out the delayed National Guard response was disgusting
imagine if the people storming were predominantly not white.
Nancy Pelosi got her far left antifa friends to storm the capital wearing MAGA gear, plus the cops let them in because it was just a peaceful tour of the building.
That's what should have happened.
It will but only if you're a leftist.
He's demonstrably the actual biggest loser in history, and he just got more loser-y folks... If any of you are starting to have your memories fade, here's a quick refresher to read this morning and then copy and send to your aunt karen in Missouri.

*naive
Lol quaint
Lol Kilgore trout
Lol “on sight”
Can a person be quaint, I'm not sure.
claim: "violently storming in"
reality: police and security calmly opening doors for people to calmly walk in and take selfies.
Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.
I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.
Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: "insurrection." None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.
A mostly peaceful protest.
