Here's an Uplifting Thought: Despite the Poor Security at the Capitol, [View all]
that mob of seditious insurrectionists did not even come close to reaching their goals. In spite of their thousands, they did not seize control of the US Government. All they did, aside from hurting a few people, was to delay the business at hand for a few hours.
Then, when reinforcements finally arrived, they slunk away from the scene and returned to their mothers' basements once again.
Many were so stupid, in fact, that they made videos of their crimes and took selfies. Then, they posted them on their own social media venues, making it easy to identify the criminals. That stupidity, along with the advanced technology used by law enforcement and the help of people who recognized and reported those morons, ensures that many of them will pay a price for their actions and be prosecuted for their crimes.
Who won? Not them. They failed, because they are stupid, ineffectual people. Who won? The US system of government won.
Sucks to be those insurrectionists. They accomplished nothing, and now must face the consequences of their actions.
