He's probably one of the folks who returned to their internet forums and said stuff like:
"I told you they were coming. You told me to get back on my short bus. Now you know the reality of the situation"
" I told you. I *ing told you. What did you say? You want me to go through your replies? I'll do it. I *ing told you and you blew me off."
I won't name any names.

Just like it takes a special kind of stupid to believe white supremacists are dressing in black face and burning down Wendy’s during the BLM riots.
I hope one day I end up on the no fly list, just to prove the government is monitoring my
posts on anonymous Internet forums.

It puts my thoughts into words I couldn’t.
The only thought I would add is that social media is the vehicle accelerating this process.
I'm glad conservatives are now recognizing this. And that Trump is now off Twitter.

Both sides are guilty. Don’t look in your mirror.
And I agree, Trump needed to be off Twitter long ago.

Republican lawmaker resigns after arrest for storming US Capitol
"The Republican lawmaker who was arrested for storming the US Capitol has resigned from the West Virginia State Legislature. "I hereby resign as a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, effective immediately," Derrick Evans wrote in a one-sentence letter to West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice on Saturday.
Evans also released a statement saying, "I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians. I hope this action I take today can remove any cloud of distraction from the state Legislature, so my colleagues can get to work in earnest building a brighter future for our state." Evans also wrote that he hopes his resignation will help "begin the healing process" for the United States.
Evans, who served in the state legislature for just one month before his resignation, was part of the Trump-incited insurrectionist mob that broke into the US Capitol on Wednesday last week in an attempt to stop certification of Joe Biden's presidential election victory. Evans livestreamed himself on Facebook while chanting Trump's name and yelling, "We're in! We're in! Derrick Evans is in the Capitol!"
Under US law, the charge of illegally entering a restricted building with the intent to disrupt government business can be punished by a fine and one year in prison, or up to 10 years in prison if the offender "uses or carries a deadly or dangerous weapon or firearm" when committing the offense. The FBI affidavit didn't mention Evans carrying a weapon."

Bowser urges people to avoid DC as National Guard plans to have up to 15,000 troops in city
"Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.
Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation's capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power."

She should resign for her part in getting the capitol Police officer killed.
Probably more of a message to the Trumpees who will be trying to "attend" in-person anyway.

Analysis: US Capitol attack marks the beginning of a prolonged period of insurrection
The mob that ransacked the US Capitol Building Complex on Wednesday was disordered, leaderless, and appeared to have no coordination, or even direction. However, the broader militant movement that …

One notable aspect of this insurgency is that it is directed, not so much against Democrats, but primarily against Republicans who are seen as ‘traitors’ to the Trump movement.
... an audiovisual analysis of the attack shows that most of the assailants operated in makeshift groups and many didn’t even know each other’s names. There were no leaders directing the attacks on Wednesday. It is indeed likely that the militant figureheads of the movement were as surprised by the turn of events as the hapless members of the US Capitol Police.
A GROWING INSURGENCY
At this point, the militant wing of the Trump movement can be more appropriately classified as a growing insurgency against the state. Its members, many of whom have military backgrounds and advanced familiarization with weaponry, are in possession of significant amounts of firearms. Not all expressions of this insurgency will be armed in nature, but lethality should be seen as an increasingly likely outcome of this campaign from now on. Some of these attacks will be carried out against infrastructure, but US authorities should also be prepared to defend against targeted attacks on specific individuals.
