There were nationwide protests against the election result in 2016. They blocked the highways here in california. People also disrupted confirmation hearings back then.

"Disrupted confirmation hearings" seems fairly different to me from "smashed windows and doors to gain entrance to the US Capitol while hundreds of people chanted "Hang Mike Pence!".

- PaulDavisThe1st 6y agoIn what ways are these the same?
