Bear in mind, conservatively there were 80-100k people (possibly more) protesting there today. Many of these folks are right leaning to far right. Most right leaning folks are fairly well armed, many well trained and familiar with the operation of high caliber, semi-automatic rifles. You don't have to look too far back in our history to see well armed civilians storming government facilities and even engaging in firefights.
Had this been the "fall of our democracy", or an "insurrection" as is being breathlessly shouted on most of the lame stream media, there would have been a lot of dead politicians and protestors, because those folks would have shown up armed to the teeth.
As I said, this was a mild temper tantrum, but what else can you expect when the courts have refused to confront the lawlessness and punish the lawless, most politicians on the left and the right refuse to act in the people's best interests, and our election system has been messed up to the point that it is impossible for either side to have even the basic perception that our elections are fair, let alone having the ability to transparently prove that they really are in a timely manner.
I'm not saying that they should have done it, but I understand.
