Or was this meant to imply that all fanatically passionate Trump supporters are also deniers of global climate change, and therefore cannot protest against it?
(The latter seems more likely to be true, based on what I have observed.)

Turkish government decided to intervene and bring democracy to the US at once after the January 6 events in Washington, DC.
Military is mobilizing and preparations are underway to apply for US visas for nearly one million troops.

Democrats are notorious for changing thier position on things however it suits them.*
This was the least violent protest in the last year, but they are acting as it's the worst thing to ever happen in american history.
They were literally let into the capital.

If that sentence makes logical sense to you, then you have my sympathy.
In terms of "worst thing to ever happen in american history", Well... I'll grant you that the last time an enemy force occupied the US capital was in August 1812.
Of course, at that time it was a foreign enemy, not a domestic one. Even during the US civil war, Washington itself never fell to siege, no matter how briefly.
Today will be a day long remembered. A generation from now, high school students will read about it in history books.
Today is my birthday. This morning, my mom down in FL texted me, wishing me a happy day. I replied that I'd be perfectly happy with merely an uneventful day. (She pretty much ignores all news and politics, so had no idea what was about to go down.)
I did not get my birthday wish.

This was an act of sedition.
I fully expect that one of the first acts of the incoming President will be to pardon them.
I hope that I am wrong.

In terms of number of fatalities, yes, this riot was one of the least harmful riots of the past 12 months.

As a foreigner I will keep out of the discussion as such- but one question just popped up in my mind, when I read your answer...
What would have been your answer, when (lets do a wild imagination here) - Biden/Hillary had lost the vote, (but might even have won the popular vote), and the democrats/Antifa would have done the EXACT same things as have happend yesterday?
BTW. Happy birthday anyway, Joe!
I do not recognize those who seized the US Capitol building today as "the people," insofar as a group of which I consider myself a member.
