    The lack of military force was completely intentional. Which is why every single govt official who knew about the attack, had the power to, yet did nothing to fortify the capitol should all be tried for treason.

    The fact the insurrectionists looked like a bunch of tourists was because of a complete lack of coordination. They looked like bumbling idiots because that’s exactly what they were.

    Their plan was literally

    1. Storm capitol
    2. ???
    3. Profit

      Worked out pretty well, all things considered. I wonder if, historically, that’s how most plots actually end.
