They can’t help themselves.This is idiotic. The obvious answer is that no one thought Trump’s supporters would turn into a massive violent mob that would require the capitol to be protected by thousands of national guard troops.
No one thought that the challenges that we knew were coming would be successful. To be successful, they’d have to win votes in both the House and Senate. They couldn’t win a vote in either side let alone both. Dems held the majorities.
That would have been a true constitutional crisis unprecedented in modern times. I don’t think anyone really expected Pence to try that and if he did, he would have been overruled by Congress.
This article is so goddamn stupid.
If given the opportunity to be violent, they’re going to be violent.
What was never quite explained to us is why the “peaceful” protestors erected a gallows and brought zip-tie restraints.
