This happened partly because of establishment and leftist types normalizing violence and undermining confidence in the electoral process.
I love how right wingers are all about personal responsibility right up until the moment someone catches them with their hand in the cookie jar, or in this case the seat of American government then it's all "the left made me do it."
It's gonna be briefly confusing for them to settle on a new shared delusion while some are saying antifa inspired it, others are saying they literally are antifa, bussed in by George Soros and still others that they wouldn't act "like antifa" if you hadn't hurt their feelings by calling them racists and sexists in the first place.
I guess Vanto's on task, top equivocating and bullshitting there chap. There could get you a job on OANN with an "Ashli Babbit martyr" pin, "Q" cufflinks and an "all lives matter" T shirt.

Trump has finally conceded the election, and called the attack on the US Capitol--an attack he encouraged--"heinous" and claimed it left him "outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem".
Also, the riot has now claimed five lives, including one member of the Capitol Police.
Over/under on how many days until Trump flips on this?
I'm not always the biggest fan of the US in foreign policy terms but you mob would be nuts if you didn't impeach the bastard and charge him with crimes that'd prevent him from legally holding office again. He may be out of his tiny little mind but he is not fucking playing, this was a beer hall putsch moment. You don't want follow up Kristallnacht's or Reichstag fires.
Yes it was an INCOMPETENT coup d'état. Trump made as much of a dogs breakfast of it as he's made of everything else he's touched but Trump's Mens Rea shouldn't be a matter of debate, regardless of U turn calls for calm and promises of a peaceful transition made only after the 'gravy seal coup' failed as hard as his stupid lawsuits. There's enough of the US public backing him and enough opportunistic shitheels like Ted Cruz who share his antipathy to democracy to mean he's still fucking dangerous, and he is still dangerous.
Impeach, throw the book at him - knock him out of the game.
Anything less is inviting a repeat performance.
