No one that showed up to Trump's rally on J6 or went to the capital afterward arrived in DC for a bake sale, meet and greet, speed dating or any other such thing. They arrived there to make Trump president any way they could, including insurrection. They may not have put "Do a coup/insurrection" on their daily to do lists but even the densest dullard on J6 knew that was the endgame.
The only patriots on J6 were those capital police who did their best to stop the insurrectionists, and thankfully succeeded. Those are the patriots. To twist, whitewash or rebrand the insurrectionists as "misguided patriots just trying to be good Americans" is disgusting.
Now these "patriots", as you want to call them, are floating this red Caesar crap and making Trump dictator of America. They want to end the last vestiges of democracy in America and you to call them "patriots".
It is honestly hard to tell if you are a troll, idiot, poor excuse for a propagandist or all three. Regardless your opion isn't just wrong it's shit.

what is your evidence for this?
Going to an event called “Stop the Steal” and then everything that ensued
that's not evidence of a premeditated coup or insurrection. it isn't even evidence that they considered it a possibility.
