Watching YouTube clips across the spectrum of Fox, CNN, MSNBC and other news outlets with a proliferation of political, analysts, historians etc. backed up by innumerable YouTube stations, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, etc. in the run-up to the 2020 elections fueled by the statement by the President that if "we" lose the vote was rigged, the immediate aftermath was totally predictable.
What happened after was as clear as a bell, blind Freddy could have seen this coming, etc. In short, it was neither surprising nor shocking, merely inevitable. When all is said and done, the President called a 'Stop the Steal' rally on 6 January which just happens to be a historic day. Each election season is marked by the same conclusion: On Jan. 6, a joint session of Congress officially counts the electoral college’s votes and then votes to accept the results, formalizing the winner.
In the time of the Pandemic, hundreds of thousands of people had nothing else to fill their time than to watch the box. People love watching a train wreck but few usually get to see it in slow motion in real-time since the pandemic kept so many of us home, Prince Harry was just one of many. The only thing the horrified me was the inexplicable absence of enough police etc. to deter the mob, let alone stop it.
