Coup

Trump support in tactical gear carrying zip ties leaps over a banister in the Capitol Building House chamber.

It's easy and, perhaps, comfortable, in their failure, to assume that this was a group of idiots who got out of control. Personally, I don't believe it. I think that we are lucky that workers on Capitol Hill, including elected representatives, aren't today, being held hostage by a bunch of entitled Trump supporters. I think we are lucky at how few deaths resulted from this.
