I don't support property destruction, whether it be by largely white, largely armed MAGA-emblazoned mobs or BLM or any other group.
I will say with confidence that if a mob of black people, armed or not, tried to storm the Capitol under any circumstances, we would have a bodycount in the dozens or hundreds by now.
These people are there explicitly for the purposes of insurrection, and were egged on by their president who then sat back and did nothing other than a few milquetoast tweets, not even asking them to leave. He fomented this and if he has not resigned by nightfall I hope he is removed, and anyone that continues to support him for example by continuing with the electoral objections should face a recall vote from their constituents.
In any event, I'm confident this event just splintered the Republican party for the foreseeable future.
