Did you not see the videos of police opening up the barricades themselves and arm waving them to come in? There was no beach, IT WAS AN INVITATION

Yes, I have seen those. I've also videos of people getting into shoving contests with Capitol police trying to get over the barricade. The point is, this is a handicap in the short term that could potentially turn into an advantage in the future. Yet right now, we have two things happening. 1) The fence sitter, the tie breaker in the cultural war, leans towards us being domestic terrorists. 2) It forced the hand of Congress to militarize the shit out of the District. Something the fence sitter, does not care about because it does not affect the fence sitter. We are a vocal minority, even among the 80 million who voted for Trump. Even Trump disagrees with what happened.
