The revisionism on January 6th is still wild to see,
January 6th didn't succeed because it was done by a bunch of losers without a single coherent idea on why they were doing it and what to do after doing it,
I believe a majority of the rioters were just moved by the energy of the mob around them and they weren't about to 'end democracy' or whatever, it's pretty tiring seeing it compared to the Beer Hall putsch
Yeah, the mythologizing of the January 6th riot is wild. If they were successful they would've, what? Held the capitol building for a few days while the police and military argue about who gets to kill them? At worst, if they somehow indefinitely held the building, congress would have to book a convention center to work from.
the world is just like Risk and once the capitol building falls it goes to the people inside. The generals are just dice and have no ability to resist this.
More like Advance Wars but yeah.
The last time there was a violent overtaking of the government in us was in 1963, it won't happen without the support of the military industrial complex
