You may have me confused with someone else. I have never blamed antifa or blm for jan 6. Could there have been a couple of those people there to egg on the anger? Maybe so. However, the vast, vast majority of the people there were Trump supporters. Now we are getting into semantics, but I don't consider politicians voicing their anger over an issue as part of "planning". Did Trump and some of his supporters in congress encourage people to voice their displeasure with the results? They absolutely did. But if you are going to point to that as the impetus, then surely you faulted obama for getting on live tv and saying Travyon Martin could be his son for what followed. Particularly when the court found zimmerman not guilty despite HUGE social and political pressure to do the opposite.
Also, you pretty much just admitted that what happened WAS NOT what Trump or his surrogates planned, which is exactly what I have been saying from the beginning. There is a huge difference between Trump trying to delay the certification because of protests to buy him time and what happened Jan 6. Also to your point about Jan 6, we know multiple republican legislators and Trump administration people requested more security in the time leading up to Jan 6. Why did Pelosi and the dems refuse these requests?
As to Trump refusing to testify, I don't blame him at all. We know for a fact that Chuck Schumer and other legislators that are still in power have already claimed MULTIPLE times they had indisputable PROOF of Trump/Russia collusion. They did not claim they THOUGHT there was collusion, they claimed indisputable PROOF. We know that was an absolute lie and purely political ploy to take down a political rival. There was in fact no proof of anything like that and when he was told to produce said proof, he could not. Be honest, would you put your fate in the hands of people whose actions have proven them to be dishonest liars who already attempted to railroad you once?
