“Just utter stupidity on the part of people who entered those buildings.”

I totally disagree that participants were stupid. They were led to believe that the Capitol doors would open and they would be able to enter peacefully. I saw policemen open the doors and motion for people to enter in a line - and so they did, There was no shoving; they just filed in with the policeman calmly motioning for them to enter; they followed his directions. I watched for many hours life coverage of the hundreds gathered outside the Capitol, waiting to enter and then entering. They were orderly as orderly can be. Families, clean-up fathers and kids, seniors, etc. Everyone I saw looked like middle America. They clearly felt strongly enough about the well=documented evidence of election tampering to prevent President Trump’s continuing in office that they made their way to D.C. to stand up for America. It was cold, there was believed to be Covid in the air, making participation even more a principled act. Tens of thousands more of regular folks would have been there, had it been normal times. There is no doubt in my mind that the few who misbehaved were an inside set-up. The prosecution and persecution of Americans that has followed is nauseating. I am convinced that this show trial was and is intended to dissuade people from every participating in a peaceful protest ever again, so that the Marxist take-over of the U.S. can proceed unfettered in this four year period.
