It’s going to be so surreal looking back at this in a few decades:
A crowd of phone-waving overweight cosplay nitwits from the internet taking over the headquarters of the most powerful nation on earth…
It makes me think of the vast numbers of brutal and battle-hardened rebels with AKs and rocket launchers, who have failed to storm their respective third-world governments, and the look that must have been on their faces when they saw this.
Yeah, it was less “rebels staging a coup and imposing a junta” and more “Napoleon returning from exile with ease, because the government never bothered to remove his loyalists from positions of authority.”
Took it over just as the vote counts were being ratified by the senate (right place, right time), and all went down some time after Trump had asked Pence to go along with his phony elector counts plan (and Pence had said no).
Word has it they got just a few hallways away from where the votes were being transported.
Seems like it was a sort of back up plan to bring the chain of custody of the votes into question before they could be officially recorded by the senate.
The Afghanistani Government was overtaken by the Taliban in less than a week after the US left. So, that was a success for their own gain. The United States looked at that and thought ‘hold my beer’.

I mean usually the government doesn’t basically invite the rebels in, unless they are loyal to the old guy, and want him back in power.

Bingo. You said what I was thinking, in a much more eloquent way!
I think that’s going to be a much more accurate assessment of this coming election than anything else.
