Whether the Capitol protesters had a legitimate grievance is one matter, but if what they believed was in fact true, making the politicians that enabled it afraid for their safety is in my mind a good thing; those in power should fear that, if they abuse their power, and the people can't redress that wrong in any other way, e.g. through the courts, they may resort to force. Again, I don't believe the protesters were correct, but they believed that widespread election fraud was being ignored by their representatives and state and federal courts. In their minds, resorting to force --- fairly mild force, in all honesty --- was not an unreasonable step.
