Given that they were certifying the electoral vote today, yes I imagine there were a bunch of people there.

Yes. Everyone was there because there are laws requiring them to be there to certify the electoral college results.

On one hand, not letting the military roll up whenever they feel like it regardless of laws is a good thing. On the other, I feel like the DoD should have responded with “can’t send the DC Guard but here’s the people we can send” but I wasn’t in the room for those conversations.

There isn't a genderme. The DoD doesn't have a force that its supposed to announce, thats firmly DHS territory. If the DoD has to take action, especially on American soil, you're generally gonna read about it after the fact.

Thanks for the replies all, gently caress I didn't realise that was today and they were legally required to be physically present to certify the results

I posted months ago that those saying "our institutions will be resilient and there's nothing Trump can do" were being dangerously naive about how willing the fascists would be to, ya know, be fascists. And here we are.

This attack is inciting fascists across the country and giving them hope they can achieve their aims through violence. I think we'll be able to get things under control, unless the rest of the GOP pero decides to cross the Rubicon, but this is one of the darkest days in American democracy.
