You know, it's not the first time the Capitol building has been stormed by the protestors. Before this, there was a BLM protest and they managed to hold the building just fine.

BLM never made it into the capitol or even the grounds. They built a large fence to keep them out.

And? That's what should've happened yesterday too.

But it didn’t. That’s what people are pointing out. All the stops pulled for BLM (so they’re clearly capable) and none of them pulled for this. Why?

They were being reinforced by mysterious federal forces then… which was bad, so we got rid of them. Last time’s problem was solved so hard it produced this time’s problem.

The other issue is that reinforcements in DC are controlled by the President, who of course wanted this to happen so he could watch it on TV, so he didn’t mobilize any of them.
