I actually think the people who invaded Congress on J6 were the ones who misstepped, because if you go that far you better have a goal. Instead they were in some weird gray zone where they were prepared to use some type of force, but not really, and ended up getting the worst of both worlds.

The commitment was admirable, and the frustration very genuine, but actually going into the Capitol building was a game losing own-goal (which is why it was allowed), and why Banon, Trump, and even Alex Jones were trying to get people to stop.

Certainly, the extreme blowback by the hysterical regime shows it wasn't worth it. AOC was calling for Ted Cruz to be arrested for trying to assassinate her. Over 1,400 people were mass incarcerated on trumped up charges. All were persecuted remorselessly, even after they pled guilty. A large number were tortured (from over 6 months of 24/7 solitary confinement, over 18 months 23/7 solitary confinement, denial of medical care, being forced to sleep in sewage, beatings and sleep deprivation by guards, and more). Even when Leftist journalists at Newsweek were concerned that the mistreatment could allow for appeals; not only did it not matter; but lawyers who argued they would make appeals were threatened, in court, by the judges themselves. Some then received threats of disbarment from Bar Associations for considering, but not filing, for appeals. I think a dozen or so killed themselves from the obsession of federal LE. One man killed himself after having been pardoned because he'd lost his family, his home, his career, and got pulled over by a cop for a traffic infraction. He knew that with the federal charges he already had, a gun charge would send him back to federal prison, so he basically committed suicide by cop to stay out.
