What does any of that have to do with storming the capital building and attempting to halt the election process? There were no protest signs looking to be heard about this issue or that, only Trump flags, union jacks and maga hats.

We're supposed to believe this was a coherent protest for populism and not just sour grapes flamed by the president?

Fine, don't answer the question. I actually checked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Jack_(disambiguation) before asking, but I still don't get what "union jack" refers to in this context.

My reaction was directed at the downvoters, not at you. Thanks for answering!
