Sorry, lost a chunk of my reply. Essentially and in brief 'cause I can't be a***d to type it all again;
BLM announced their intention to approach the Lincoln Memorial (Not The Capitol Building).
Trump put in place the steps taken against BLM
Most civilised people believe that Trump over-reacted.
MAGA talked about a riot/gathering/protest, but did not explicitly say they intended to storm any building, never mind the Capitol Building.
Trump was driving them
Most civilised people did not really beleive that they would invade and vandalised The Capital Building.
You kind of need to have lived with them to understand that they have an almost religious faith in the sanctity of their democracy. The fact that they would storm the centre of that democracy is quite literally beyond belief.
