Trump is simultaneously the most popular and most hated president in recent US history - he may even have Lincoln beat. Maybe not unlike Lincoln (don’t know, I wasn’t alive?), he also has the most “how could you support/not support X” rhetoric surrounding him than any politician I can ever think of.
Yep, which explains the massive turnout both for and against

It is just learning what you click on. If one hasn't figured this out by 2021 then they are ignorant.
Its just good marketing. Hey do you have auto insurance? You should probably buy some homeowners insurance. Did you know you can bundle your homeowners insurance? What about college you have a newborn. Did you know you can buy an annuity to help plan for college. Hey do you need a new car I got a buddy that sells cars... Car salesman hey do you need a boat I know someone that sells boats and I also know an insurance guy. Hey have you heard of time shares? I know a guy that says they are the best. You can even get free food if you hear them talk.
Basically what it boils down to is people are gullible as f*** even in 2021.

DC police have quite the experience dealing with both far left and far right rioters within 6 months.

It's no different than the cult like following Obama had. It's a direct result of the tribalization of American politics, promoted and reinforced by social media and the MSM.
China pays good money to our corporate media conglomerates to make sure this continues.

I guess all out preconceived notions about crowds being able to storm the capital and White House were wrong.

I don't think you can overestimate how loyal a lot of his supporters are to him. I've never seen anything like it in my life.. And part of it is... because like you said he is charismatic. He draws people in.
As an unbiased observer, he gets the same loyalty Obama does. Ask a huge Obama fan how they feel about him being anti-gay marriage the first time he ran for POTUS. You'll get yelled at.

It is the biggest factor. This wouldn't be happening if he wasn't president.
Why is he president? Why did he get there to begin with?
I don't overestimate the loyalty of his followers, but when they've been demonized and treated like garbage for having the audacity to not be left leaning, to maybe think Trump isn't completely terrible, or just not go along with the insane narratives of MSM, social media etc, of course they feel like they're being pushed into a corner.
It's like kicking a dog and expecting to not eventually be bit.
Like I said, I'm not justifying this break-in, but what a waste it will be if people don't learn anything from this. This is basically a prime example of what happens when you have us vs them bullshite railroaded through America for years on years. It was practically inevitable.

Just shut up and take your $600. It sucks that your business got shut down and then burned to the ground but those people are mad at the police and you have insurance. Now go take your white privilege somewhere else.

Was he misrepresenting the stance that the progressive wing of the Democratic party is demonstrating as of late?

So, if this exact thing had happened but a Republican beat Barry, you don't think they'd be storming shite too? Out of your mind.
The fringe groups that worship these politicians are becoming more and more radicalized, and now that one side saw the other protest and burn cities with zero repercussions, what the hell did you think was going to happen?

We really need to do something about this.

I don't think what we're seeing is solely because of Trump. He's not helping things by any means, but this is a result of a perfect storm of people losing jobs based on arbitrary "safety" rules, an election that fundamentally changed the rules of how Presidential elections occur, etc.
