I'm wrong sometimes.  When I'm wrong, you guys point out the facts.  But when I'm right, and you don't have any facts or logic to cite, you call me names and say I'm bring odious or a know-it-all.  

Sneakers said that letting a violent mob tell Congress and the states what to do wouldn't be a step towards dictatorship.  Was he right?

As flsprtgod already pointed out, that's not at all close to what I said.  Was it intentional misrepresentation?   If you have comprehension difficulties, please let me know and I'll try to simplify my posts for you.

"Telling" congress what to do and forcing Congress to do something are vastly different.  For example, stop calling this specific event an insurrection and being an arrogant donkey's butt about so much else.  Unfortunately, I can't force you to do either of these things, so I don't expect much to change.

How could any mentally competent person reasonably believe that simply occupying a building for a few hours would force Congress to concede to a crowd's demands?  Is our government that fragile?

How could any mentally competent person be sure that these people wanted to do no more than occupy the building for a few hours?
You and I both know they built a gallows with Mike Pence's name on it.
You and I both know they chanted Pelosi's name, demanding that she be brought out to them.
Yet you are positive that this was just bluster and posturing, that they didn't really mean to harm or threaten a single soul. Yet they say I'm gullible. Seems to me that you are the gullible one.
