But there wasn't. That's the point. Everyone is getting worked up at what could have happened instead of focusing on what did and is happening.
Your comparison sucks. Bernie was not a figure that had any institutional power (outside of his senate seat) nor was there any particular event around which an incident like this could have occured. Not would Bernie of all people be the one to lead such a fight, as that doesn't fit his historical temperament.
Does this group of right wing protestors have a financial advantage over the left? Of course they do. They are literally the petite bougious that trumps caters to. However, they are not more organized than the left, at least not this particular group. What they benefited from is some form of relationship with the DC police that is unclear, but enough to allow a total security failure around the Capitol. They don't have access to the secret service, they don't have access to the actual police state apparatus. What they do have is a years long developed social media presences (QAnon mileau), but that does not imply actual cadre organization or long term goals or planning.
Is the storming of the Capitol a big deal? Yes. Yet, much like 9/11, it is a big deal not because of the event in-of-itself, but because of the reaction the state is going to have towards it, which will have rippling effects that we are going to feel years from now.
Look, I don't want to go all 'debate-bro' but calling people childish and dooming doesn't help anybody here.
