attack on the capitol was going to be devastating to them politically.
The Democrats have been hurt by the violence connected to BLM protests , but the Republicans do not seem to be hurt much by the violence at the Capitol. The obvious explanation is racism. The right wing media continuously fanned the flames on it.
We still have the hearings coming up where people will see the depth of the involvement by the administration and members of congress.

How upset do you want them to be about an action that was, at bottom, intended to obtain the result they wanted anyway?
So, the idea they're going to get riled up about people who were a little over-enthusiastic, from their point of view, is the "everyone thinks like me" trap.
