Trump Junior says the “vast, vast, vast majority” of people arrested for J6 were “basically tourists”

You are talking about a figment of your own imagination. If that group wanted to take over the capitol, they would have.

They had the numbers and ability to hold it.

They did not do so, because they chose not to do so. Because it wasn't an insurrection. They had no intent of overthrowing the law or the lawmakers.
Of course the did. That’s why they sent fake electors. Just go look at the text messages of members of Congress, Republican and Democrats. There was a mob coming after them in order to halt the installation of the duly elected Biden presidency. They believed their guy won and they were insisting that he remain in office. You can call it a protest, bud all the facets taken together suggest an insurrection.

Everyone there already owns a shotgun.

Collectively, taking over and holding the Capitol building would be trivial.
None of them brought a shotgun. And they didn't attempt to take it over or hold the ground.

You are in fantasyland.
And they weren’t 12 year olds. Just acting like it.

Every day I pray for a real insurrection against this criminal government. January 6 was a LARP involving mostly federal agent provocateurs and some poor idiots that were silly enough to fall for the entrapment and now they’re in the gulag

They were advocating that a completely legal process be followed.

This was the most benign, low testosterone response by an electorate to a stolen election ever.

These people had all the numbers they needed to create a Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ, anyone?)

They chose not to do so, precisely because they are not insurrectionist.

I don’t support violence against law enforcement.
never ever? so if law enforcement decides to round up everyone who owns property and summarily execute them, you'd say to turn the other cheek?

to me, law enforcement isn't some untouchable class of people separate from the politics of this country, they're just another group of violence-dealers that may or may not be aligned with the interests of the people
