The plan was to interrupt the certification in congress and continue to push the state lawsuits to throw the election results into jeopardy. It never really had a chance of working but you can't say they didn't try like hell. The message to the insurrectionists was simple, stop the steal.

and the evidence that this group of dummies had previously formulated that plan, is…???
Was the guy in the Chewbacca hat the leader?
Spence, remember a few years ago i. Wisconsin, Gov scott walker was about to sign union-busting legislation, and the lefties stormed the state capital? Were they insurrectionists? Or is there some logic by which it’s only a capital offense when conservatives do it?
Or The democrats in the TX state legislature who fled the state soecifically to hijack the democratic process that the voters freely chose, how do you describe them? you’d compliment them.
your aversion to those who interfere with the democratic process ( fair to say the Jan 6 rioters were attempting that) is quite selective. Which means it’s fake.

Some are comparing the U.S. Capitol riot to Wisconsin's Act 10 protests in 2011. Here are the key differences.
Wisconsin's Act 10 protests were overwhelmingly peaceful.
One top Republican official at the time noted there was no "malicious damage" to the statehouse and said most of the costs linked to the weeks-long protests were due to law enforcement overtime bills.
Thousands of people crowded inside the building every day, hanging posters on the walls and camping out in the rotunda and hallways.
Jan 6th A 70-year-old Alabama man had 11 Molotov cocktail devices "ready to go" in his truck when he was arrested during the breach and riot at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, the Montgomery Advertiser reported.
Jim your false equivalence just don’t stand up to a single google search but conservatives pushed that narrative from day one

It was the Trump cabal's plan obviously. The insurrectionists were just following Trump's lead.

I remember that being a huge protest event but I don't recall any violence.

Political gamesmanship.

But your addiction to false equivalences is very real.

I remember an incident where a few protesters lit some stuff in a barrel on fire in front of a police station. It's arson and illegal, no issue prosecuting them but it's not terrorism.
BLM violence came in many forms, overly aggressive police, white nationalists trying to clash, anarchists, some protesters certainly. I've been in two "riots" in my life and I can say when you have that many people milling about strange shyt happens. Was tear gassed both times
Still, nothing like Jan 6.

I know Filene’s Basements annual bridal sale can get a bit ugly, Dem Bitches Be Crazy, but you’re really going to classify it as a riot.
The tear gas was probably just over spray from the lady at the perfume counter.

Captain obvious isn’t Jim, use bigger font and maybe pictures of pretty colors to get him focused.
