Ok so I don't feel like I really understand the storming of the Capitol. It feels surreal, like a dream. How big is Qanon, right wing conspiracy stuff? Where did it come from, why is it here? Is this an inevitable result of the internet? What the hell is happening?

People are bored and looking for something to cling on to as an escape from the life they can’t deal with. If people want Real change, they will start from within themselves.

In my opinion.. It was nothing but mob mentality violence, people in large groups get excited and act irrationally.. not dissimilar to the Antifa/Leftist protests we saw over the last several months.

seems fairly straightforward to me if we understand people truly believe that the election was stolen
1. people show up
2. way too many people show up
3. capitol police told to deescalate following previous protests
4. vanguard pushes; rearguard on self-guided tour

If someone could explain it for europeans in an understandable way, we would be grateful.
It looks like it is a perfect storm: Trump thinks his bullying/salesman practice is going to work, lunatics can coordinate together via internet, a widening fracture between MSM and people..
