What do you suppose would have happened if the angry mob equipped with zipties had actually got ahold of any of the public figures they were looking for? If Nancy Pelosi had been in her office, say? Or if they'd somehow cornered Mike Pence? Just because it was incompetent and disorganized doesn't mean it wasn't earnest, or planned.

Anyway, I stand by my initial position that it is disingenuous to act so innocently amazed that people might regard an angry violent mob storming the capitol with a gallows chanting to hang the vice president as an insurrection.
