Here's something I'm wondering. So there are a bunch of people really upset that Trump didn't win. And the common sentiment is that the protest he basically organized only inflamed spirits more, and got people more riled up and primed for violence.
But what if it's the exact opposite. What if this allowed the more ardent supporters to vent some steam, get a feeling that they achieved something, that they showed "them". And now, on Trump's word, they're gonna go back home, with some peace of mind that Biden's presidency can't hurt them, because they did take over Capitol building after all, and if something bad were to happen... "well clearly Biden wouldn't dare do something against the people, because he saw how powerful we were that day".
At the very least, I see the possibility that this event gave the people the illusion that they have power and control over their government, even if/when it's corrupt. And what can give someone more peace of mind than feeling that they are in control of their own lives?
Maybe I'm reaching here, hoping for a calmer future, but wouldn't it be nice if inadvertently Trump pulled one final 4D chess move before he left?

Anyone good at history? Can anyone check if major wars/global wide social instability has some kind of 100 years frequency.
I keep thinking that WW2 was mostly a direct consequence of shit that started in WW1, which was basically 100 years ago. So I'm wondering if this is a trend going back further, or just interesting coincidence.
