Tbh it's pretty amusing thinking about them storming in with guns, explosives and zip-ties imagining they would successfully over-turn the government... And then it ended up fizzling out like a damp firework as soon as it got real.

I can only imagine they thought more people would turn up than actually did. More serious people, at least. A lot of them were there for the drama and just did a collective and left when they realised that they actually might get in trouble for this. Really quite the portrait of privilege I guess.

the proud boys intended to kidnap Nancy and Pence and hang them, and to be honest, they probably could have done it if they were a bit more organised
