My guess is that, had the situation been reversed, and there were more Derek Chauven’s than Harry Donn’s defending the capitol, there would have been hundreds dead that day. And if, as they wished in hindsight, the Proud Boys had brought guns, the number would have been in the thousands.
Sadly, I believe this is what Trump wants. I suspect he continues to push and push his outrages in the hopes initially to distract from his pilfering of the American coffers, but ultimately to justify the kind of violence that allows him to unleash the power of “his” army on the American citizenry. Then there will be no need for him to worry about an election in 2028; in fact, if he moves quickly enough there will be no need to worry about 2026. There will be no more elections. We will be in a state of martial law. It is only the continued restraint of the protestors that will prevent this from happening. Recall that Nixon didn’t lose his job over Kent State. It was the coverup that got him. But Trump does everything out in the open. That’s the lesson he learned from 1974.
