I don't really want to get dragged into this dumpster fire of a thread, but I think it's safe for Mikey to say that most people who went in the Capitol building were intending to disrupt Congress. The whole point of the protest was to show displeasure at the way the system handled the election. Where I disagree with Mikey (and where I think it's important to disagree), is that it's not insurrection to protest in a way that disrupts the process. MOST people in that building were not trying to overthrow the US government. It was first and foremost and attempt to remind the congress that the people felt unheard and ignored, and it's not ok to just trample on those feelings with zero repercussions.
