This is quite obvious thing but in the same time seems very painful and disturbing for people who believe in fundamental difference of western-type democracy and for example Chinese political model.
Also if we talk about US elites, i see they now have some late-USSR moment. People, or significant part of, want new politics, new leaders, they fed up with old doctrine that supported and translated by all mainstream media, global corporations and so on. Combined with economical decline (because of China) it could lead to significant global troubles in the US. Hope it will happened. Hope it will happend not too fast, world need time to adapt to live without US dominance.

THIS is what democracy really looks like | CNN
Mitch McConnell should consider this: If confronting Senators in elevators seems outrageous, perhaps he should focus more on the outrage that people are feeling -- and the mounting sense of frustration that Republicans have so hamstrung this process, and the progress of our nation in general...

Ah yes but, you see, it is completely different and perfectly fine.
Women, protesting a Supreme nominated by Trump, a white man, accused of rape (without any evidence whatsoever) and fear mongering concerning the status of Roe vs Wade (which hasn't been touched since and likely won't ever).
This, there, is fine. It is empowering. It is democracy.
Same goes with the BLM/antifa riots.
This is the good kind of unlawful behavior. This is the good kind of political intimidation. This is the good kind of political violence. This is the acceptable kind of outrage. This is the morally superior kind of unrest.

OkA little late Mr Trump, a little late...5 people lost their lives for not hearing this concession speech before.
Trump condemns 'heinous attack' on Capitol, calls for 'healing and reconciliation'
President Trump condemned Wednesday’s “heinous attack” on the Capitol by his supporters and called for a moment of healing.www.foxnews.com
Yeah. While Republicans are capable of denouncing violence on both sides, the Democrats are clearly not. That’s the difference. For Democrats, violence has been a summer long orgy of beatings, killings, arson and threats. It’s a strategy. Not once has any meaningful effort been taken to stop it in Portland, Chicago or elsewhere where skyrocketing murder rates nationwide cannot be calculated in the final death toll. Example after example of the most glaring, the most egregious hypocrisy from the left. Now, more Trump conspiracy theories. You guys have lost your minds.
Death Toll Rises To An Estimated 30 Victims Since 'Mostly Peaceful Protests' Began
Amid an eruption of violent protests across American cities, a number of deaths were caused by shootings, but a select few were caused by being hit by cars.

These Black Capitol Police Officers Describe Fighting Off "Racist Ass Terrorists"
BuzzFeed News spoke to two Black officers who described a harrowing day in which they were forced to endure racist abuse — including repeatedly being called the n-word — as they tried to do their job of protecting the Capitol building, and by extension the very functioning of American democracy. The officers said they were wrong footed, fighting off an invading force that their managers had downplayed, and not prepared them for. They had all been issued gas masks, for example, but management didn’t tell them to bring them in on the day. Capitol Police did not respond to BuzzFeed News’s request for comment about the allegations made by officers.
While some of the images from that day appeared to show officers standing by to let the mob into the Capitol building, the veteran officer said that they had fought them off for two hours before the attackers eventually gained access. The officer said that many of the widely spread images of smiling marauders, wandering the halls dressed in absurd costumes, had the effect of downplaying how well prepared some of the rioters were to overtake the building, and even to capture and kill Congress members.
“That was a heavily trained group of militia terrorists that attacked us,” said the officer, who has been with the department for more than a decade. “They had radios, we found them, they had two-way communicators and earpieces. They had bear spray. They had flash bangs ... They were prepared. They strategically put two IEDs, pipe bombs in two different locations. These guys were military trained. A lot of them were former military,” the veteran said, referring to two suspected pipe bombs that were found outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee.

Rasmussen: Trump’s approval rating rises after DC protests. https://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/1004872/18
Seen this one but didn't post because I don't know how credible this source is.
Can someone enlighten me?

The guy behind the polling openly called for sedition by arguing that Pence should oppose the final count of the election certificates, effectively denying Biden the presidency on illegal grounds. He quoted Stalin to make his case. That tells you much about his credibility.
