Looking back, a few things become clear. We know for sure the "Insurrection" was clearly a staged event. Was it only for setting Trump up? Look at what it taught all of us: Storming the Capitol is the worst crime imaginable. I believe this was a two pronged event. Stage an uprising to set up Trump and at the same time teach the people the Capitol is hands off. Could this possibly be to protect themselves after they pass legislation soon they know will cause every American to want to storm their Hallowed Halls of Justice? Lastly, we understand if this was their plan, it was done by people in charge other than Pelosi and Schumer. They're not that smart.

Always been psychological warfare. I imagine plan was for higher participation and more violent outcome which would also have nullified perceptions of BLM violence. It would have nullified Trump Lawyer's arguments against BLM riots. Nomination for Nobel Peace Prize would seem less illogical and issuing the award would have further strengthened our demoralization, their narrative and BLM base for continued agendas.
Trump's delayed speech prevented a 911 or pearl harbor type event in scope. If there was a larger crowd the mob mentality would have been in full effect and observant people that helped in awareness calling out antifa and Alex Jones detering with a loud speaker would have had no impact in pacification. Leading up to Jan 6th I witnessed posts about call to arms in TDW and I question their identity and motives as many others have called them out as possible instigators. Im sure some were genuine posts of people fed up with it all but many may have been operatives attempting to incite gun violence. Ashley Babbitt event regardless if true event or not videos show that participants came out to the crowd screaming "they shot her they shot her" etc so it would be highly probable if people were armed outcome could have been far worse and there could have been actual shootings for the first time.
This would have provided justification for a full force retaliation and uncontested passing of Patriot Act Ver2 with sweeping bans on assault rifles and freedom of assembly etc. They would have had full support by general public and even we would have had the feeling that we have little to say to oppose it. The prosecutors would have had a strong case of gun violence for the Impeachment. None of the National Guard deployment would seem odd and they would have issued permanent occupation from the start. They would have had proper justification in their classification of Trump supporters as domestic terrorists(that they seem to be backing off of atm) and Military and law enforcement deployment with that bill about gun confiscation without warrant bill would have went into immediate effect nationwide.
Their goal was partially successful however. It was aimed to turn our and Trump's biggest asset against us, the people. Up until Jan 6 peaceful assembly was our greatest strength and had unstoppable momentum and effect. They made it so that peaceful assembly nationwide is a negative thing as I imagine there would have been many more protests after jan 6. Now it feels almost taboo to have one. Some have felt betrayal when Trump was forced to denounce the events of Jan 6 and him calling to back the law enforcement and law and order even though it was helpful in hindsight to his Impeachment. It was also fairly effective at demoralizing people for at least a good 2 weeks and sowed doubt and hesitation in our ability to act. This and everything you said was their goal and I have no thought they will continue to work on passing the bills.
