Pretty sure that wasn’t his plan, given the months-long campaign to overturn the election: which culminated in him inciting a riot.
The riots have been going all year. It was a different crowd this time, but riots are old news at this point. It wasn't a good look for the MAGA crowd and more than anything probably would have cowed them into submission.
But then Big Tech had to turn around and give everyone a reason to be pissed off again.
In particular since the "riots have been going all year" is demonstrably false nonsense. Parades and rallies, maybe. Riots? What?
And how are you even going to equivocate riots to an invasion of the physical center of the US government by whiny "patriots" who had no other plan except to waltz in and wait for the next cutscene to start?
Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, DC, etc. etc. etc.

It's just a building.
