Up until the point where they broke into the Capitol, as much as I detest MAGA, those protests were perfectly legal, as they were screaming obscenities and chanting, hang Mike Pence.

They were protected by the First Amendment up until the point where they started literally attempting to kill police officers.

When you think about the protests during the Tea Party movement, which were vile, they were holding monkey dolls and hanging an effigy, the first Black president of the United States.

perfectly protected on the First Amendment.

Understand the broad protections of the First Amendment, they don't just protect left, they protect the right too.

So if those of y'all in MAGA think you wanna live in a world where the Department of Justice can prosecute you for protesting because your protest is loud or because your protest annoys some people who are sitting in a building or your protest is inconvenient to people, rue the day.

when there is a Trump on the other side who decides to wield the awesome power of the government against you.

Because anything you think you're satisfied with seeing done to your opponents can be done to you too.

Everyone ought to oppose.

I don't care what your politics are.

You want to be really disturbed by the fact that this regime is acting like a regime, not an administration, and trying to use the awesome power of the federal government against one individual for simply witnessing a protest.
