Those who broke into the capital and rioted are disgraceful. And they've been punished and no one in the Right is setting up Go fund me accounts for them.

You said it was a protest with no guns or weapons, why is it now a disgraceful riot?

I suppose if I were to see the same thing happening in the seat of our democracy (eg one of those Tommy Robinson rally's breaking in to the houses of parliament and going on the rampage) then I'd be a bit more upset.

I doubt you'd care one whit TBH. You'd tell everyone to "enjoy their tantrum."

“They’re just trolling you gullible idiots by storming parliament with weapons, injuring and killing police officers, searching for Starmer so they can hang him, and trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. It’s fun to watch all of you flap over this.”

Because he lied the first time.

And no one was hurt.

I noticed that's in quotation marks - who said it?

I'd only say that if someone was actually behaving like a toddler and failing to regulate their emotions sufficiently.

But you think that's everyone except you and Dax based on my read.

I think your definition of 'everyone' is skewed - I've only ever seen one instance of a tantrum on here by one person iirc.

Sure. I'm just telling what half the country thinks. And they are right.

2 things can be true. 1. There was a protest in which some rioted. And it was disgraceful.
And 2..The media has spent the last 3 years overplaying a riot.

To their dismay, half the country don't seem to want to accept the prescribed indoctrination...

No. Your ignorance is total. The insurrection only came to an end because Pence refused to certify the false EC electors. Had he done so, Trump would have remained in power and that would signal the end of the constitution.
What then? Acquiescence or civil war?
Democracy depends on consent. The citizens must consent to the constitution, to the rule of law and to the norms of civil behaviour. If there is no consent, there is no democracy, only chaos. (Plenty of historical examples).
Why do you think the courts have handed down draconian punishments to those convicted of rioting?
Jan 6 was no ordinary riot, it was an attempt to withdraw consent and end the constitution and the fact that millions, according to you, agreed with it is no justification. Millions agreed with conspiracies like Gates and the covid jabs, contrails, and school massacres being staged. But they were all nonsense.
Your view is nonsense due to your ignorance of the nature of democracy.
Answer my question above. What would have happened if Pence had certified the false EC votes?
