They were also well planned and intentional. J6 seemed much more like spur-of-the-moment mob action, at least from my armchair.

But it wasn't, I remember seeing people on Facebook talking about J6 before it happened. It's kind of weird to see the minimization of J6 in real time.

I think your comment is a direct reflection of the lack of popular coverage and discussion of January 6th. It was planned for prior to the election as a contingency. There's clear and direct evidence of that fact and there's very little awareness of that fact.

I think that your comment is a direct reflection of your desire to paint the opposing political side as dangerous in order to gain political favor and power.
It’s still not going to work. When will the left learn that changing peoples mind by lying will not work?

What’s the lie? Groups like Oath Keepers planned it. It was not spontaneous.
The only reason anyone thinks otherwise is because they were completely incompetent. But being bad at overthrowing the government doesn’t mean you didn’t try.

There were groups with guns and boats ready to resupply an insurgency.

Do you have a credible source that I could read about that? Thank you.

I see another person posted a credible source, so I won’t he redundant, but I do want to respond to ask why you elected to comment asking for a source - this story is very easily googlable.

It sounds like an incredible claim. You are correct, I did not search before asking, but I should have.

There were several organized groups of people among the mob who went prepared for it to go much differently and stoked the flames. I shudder to think what would have happened if they made it to the chamber before the Representatives and Senators got out.

that's what they wanted it to look like. plenty of evidence aired at the congressional hearings showing this was a highly planned act

J6 was organized months in advance. The J6 committee went over this in depth.

The various right-wing groups had been escalating their rhetoric and actions by that time for more than a decade without any meaningful action against it.
Even if it was a spur-of-the-moment mob action, something like that was always coming due to inaction in addressing the increased violence from the different right-wing groups.
