This point about the Wisconsin Capitol occupation cannot be made often enough.
It happened to prevent legislation from being passed. It went on for months.
It had assistance from local government:
From Wikipedia: "Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the locked entrance to the Capitol, chanting "Break down the door!" and "General strike!" The crowds grew to thousands, surging into the Capitol. Police did not attempt to remove them. Department of Administration spokesman Tim Donovan said although protesters were being encouraged to leave, no one would be forcibly removed. Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said he had instructed Madison Police Chief Noble Wray not to allow his officers to participate in removing demonstrators from the building."
This was an ACTUAL insurrection. In a different time, in this country, lethal force would have been used to clear the Capitol and to allow the [Republican] Legislature to meet and transact business.
This affair when contrasted with the self-guided tour of the US Capitol which occurred on 1/6/21 reveals a lot, more than most of us really want to contemplate, about who is in charge of the country.
Well said!
