Meh, I dunno...
A crowd of yokels over-running Capitol security and interrupting your legislative proceedings seemed otherworldly.
There is quite a lot of public proof that there was some kind of organised effort involved in the crowd, not too up to speed with the whole thing but I haven't heard about anyone higher up in the administration getting actually charged, separation of state kinda means politicians get judged by other politicians. Some sources claim outgoing prez didn't listen to some of his inner crowd (more grifters) telling him things were turning ugly, dude seems vain enough not to have grasped the reality of it or villainous enough to not care how the dice landed, him having no real skin in it and maybe, just maybe, something to gain.
At least the court cases should be good for a couple of laughs, I predict lots of middle-aged, slightly-overweight mostly white people invoking Jeebus, lots of crying and maybe some sovcit shennanigans.
Politically, I think the Republicans have to continue to ride the moral majority/Tea party/etc's back, even if a lot of them will continue to be loud(er) and stupid(er). OTOH it's kinda sad the Democrats didn't find anyone to run but Biden, the kind of loud and stupid they attract tends to mellow out by growing up/old.
