99% of the people who went to DC that day weren’t going for an “insurrection”. They wanted to show their support for Trump during his rally and to make a show of protest for the ratification of electors without a significant and substantial review of the individual state’s voting “irregularities”.
Even the people who followed inside (although they should have thought better of it) were waving flags and going straight through and probably just thought of it as a a show of protest. But even still, they were wearing identifiable gear because they aren’t professional domestic terrorists like Antifa. They don’t pre-plan their criminal destruction and on America.
To clarify, I wasn’t suggesting the Jan 06 people did a “criminal destruction of America”. That is what Antifa did in a guerilla siege for many many months in 2020. That’s my point. This was all just supposed to be a first amendment demonstration.
