Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund talks about Jan 6

But that's the beauty of it, Jolly.
There is/was a Master Of the Game, and you summed it up in one word: "Pelosi."
She will play the game at the expense of the country, with that sick smile on her face. She would not nuke the country to get her way (if possible), but she would be happy to have people kill each other with the same outcome. I think she loves to see those beneath her suffer.
As I think about it some more, I don't think I like her. -
Of the many symptoms of TDS, one is that sufferers will be unable to think clearly about the fact that, with appropriate security, January 6 would have been a non-event, useless for political messaging going forward.

Now imagine if the most transparently fragile human being ever to have a prominent role in American political life had had a more normal psychological makeup. Think of how much better off the country would be, and the GOP for that matter, not to mention the thousands of individual lives ruined by credulous imbecility.
"You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from."
-Cormac McCarthy -
The Democrats could conceivably bear some responsibility for the lack of security, but to state that Pelosi is primarily responsible for this shit-show seems to rather be overlooking the big fat orange Republican elephant in the living room.
I know, I know, TDS.
I was only joking

Yes deflection is one way to avoid thinking clearly.
Unlike you, I am able to think clearly about things related to Trump. And I am able to wholeheartedly agree that he would have been better for the country and better for the GOP if he'd been more able to accept the L.
Education is extremely important.

That's actually more than most Trump haters would be able to admit. Thank you.

Hence the popularity of threads like these among our Trump-voting members.

A large group of Trump supporters harmlessly invade the Capitol, exercising their constitutional rights to wander around the building, doing absolutely nothing wrong.
And it's the Democrats fault.

I do believe Trump said "peacefully".
I do find that in marked comparison to the Floyd riots.

Yes, it partially is. And some of the riot may be the fault of FBI informants or plants within the crowd.
Here's the problem...While even the most ardent Trump supporters among us will acknowledge what the crowd did was wrong - and do not forget, it was a very small minority of the crowd. If the main crown would have surged and rioted they could have torn the whole damn thing to the ground and danced on the rubble. - the holier-than-thou opposition admits no fault.
Pure as the driven snow is Ms. Pelosi. Pure as the driven snow is the FBI, who had intelligence operators scattered throughout the crowd.
Until the TDS sufferers can acknowledge that maybe some fault lies on their side of the line, fuck 'em. They don't want a dialogue, just a bloody pulpit.

At some point it becomes a test of whether one enjoys socially encouraged hatreds. It’s never hard to detect the whiff of those who do. Who knows how many discouraged hatreds they politely keep to themselves, only to find outlet in these joyous opportunities to spew at a target like Trump and his supporters.

Trump says a lot of things.
"Sorry" certainly hasn't been one of them.

You know, you're blaming the crowd, but you're not pinning any of the responsibility of Trump himself. And he sure as shit hasn't acknowledged any fault.
So give it a rest with the 'holier than thou' accusations while Donald Trump continues to portray himself as some kind of prophet of freedom and justice, and his followers consider to absolve him of any blame.

Pretty much.
That's something that's been speculated about quite a bit. This interview drops a few more pieces into the puzzle.

I've been mentioning since Jan 7 that if the Trump haters were legit concerned that Jan 6 was a threat to our democracy, they'd have directed at least 1% of their outrage, at the lack of security. Since they never have and never will, we can know that it's all political opportunism. TDS sufferers were elated at January 6.
It's similar to a woke person catching a conservative saying something racist. They're not actually worried that the conservative did damage by saying something racist. They're just thrilled that their world view and sense of purpose in life, has been confirmed.
