"I'm not pitting myself against you, but you're wrong."

Fair enough.

As a patriot, I find the storming, vandalism, and desecration of the United States Capitol building which is symbolic in American history to be disgusting.

No matter who did it.

And whomever was involved, Antifa tactics were on display in almost every video I've seen.

How did that happen?

Considering the number of people, I didn't see too much damage. Some even respected the velvet ropes in Statuary Hall.

Real Antifa types would have trashed everything, sprayed graffiti and set fires. I didn't see any of that. Most of the damage seemed to be to doors that were forced open.

Many here and elsewhere claim that many were Antifa-types. I do not think so. Some probably were Antifa infiltrators. Some were probably just brawlers who show up at any event from either side that has the promise of a fight. Most appeared to me to be Trump supporters.

From my perspective, the House and Senate were colluding in a corrupt certification process. Considering the fact that they succeeded in interrupting that process, even temporarily, was a success. To me it seems that many people (probably including Trump) recoil at facing the reality of the situation, which is that we're going to get a Chinese style surveillance state, soft totalitarianism with a SJW intersectional façade masking a corporate fascist state. You could almost see the glee with which corrupt Republicans resumed business-as-usual as soon as they thought Trump lost, like Mike Lee's (R-India/Intel) H1B visa bill.

Since the courts will do nothing to rectify this situation, the ballot boxes are stuffed, and dissent is deplatformed and silenced, what solution would you propose?
