AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

There's that too, but it's two parts. Why wasn't security allowed in place for Trump's rally and why did Trump drag his feet ordering support for his own VP?
If the security had been around Trump's rally in the first place, then reinforcements wouldn't have been necessary. Of course, no one expected Trump to order the assault on Congress.....just like the Insurrectionists didn't know Trump would backstab them over the pardons.

It appears Congress, both sides of the aisle, agree too. Obviously the Republicans are a little more reluctant to point fingers at Trump since the militias are still running around loose and half of Republicans still favor Trump.
That said, clearly the Republican Senators are very disturbed by the events of January 6th plus Trump's actions and inactions.

Yes, it looks like the militias are paper tigers: all mouth and bluster, but they fold when under pressure. Their "We were only following orders" defense isn't working either.

New photos and videos of an alleged Rochester member of the Proud Boys have been released by federal prosecutors who say it is further evidence of his role in the riots at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
In new documents filed by his attorney, Dominic Pezzola says he was motivated by a desire to protect his country. He also says he was responding to then-President Donald Trump's orders.
Now, a federal judge has shot down the argument likely to be used by many at their upcoming trials.
"This purported defense, if recognized, would undermine the rule of law because then just like a king or dictator, the president could dictate what's illegal and what isn't in this country," U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell wrote in a decision released last month. "That's not how we operate here."

What ‘plan’ lol?
The plan was to have Pence *delay* the vote in order for some states to go through their irregularities. Then hold the vote. I still haven’t figured out why Trump would ‘order people’ to storm the Capitol when it would wreck his ‘plan’ for the day.
And not a single person can answer it.
