Trump never asked for national guard troops on Jan 6, you are trying to rewrite history again, what a shocker, MB rewriting history.
Next you will go how it was up to Pelosi to call out the guard.
Trump never called out the guard because he didn't want to, preferring instead to chomp popcorn and sipping diet pepsi's.
You really LOVE re puking out Trumps talking points

Here are the facts COMRADE.

It worked just fine in the Watts riots of '65.

Deploying the military against civilians is the highway to dictatorship. It is my belief that the US military would refuse to go along with it, no matter how many officers Trump were to dismiss.
The U.S. has a voluntary military filled with guys who love guns and the KKK.

Yes there is: he lost the election and thinks to be unfair.

Yes he was convicted by a jury (more than once) and thinks this to be unfair.

So in his world there is much reason for revenge. In any objective considertuion there is none.
Hillary Clinton said Trump was an illegitimate president. You have no point.

Sund told the Post that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.

Like Sund, Irving and Stenger have also since resigned their posts.

Sund says he requested assistance six times ahead of and during the attack on the Capitol. Each of those requests was denied or delayed, he says.

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser also wanted a light police presence at the Capitol. She reportedly wanted to avoid a similar scenario as last summer, when federal forces responded to demonstrators opposed to police abuses who assembled near the White House.

"In 2020, Black Soldiers comprised approximately 21% of the active-duty Army, 15% of the Army National Guard and 21% of the Army Reserve. Black Americans serve in the Army at a rate that is higher than their representation in the U.S. population.
The U.S. military is diverse, with 43% of active duty members being people of color. However, the top commanders are almost entirely white and male."

As opposed to Trump Mrs. Clinton accepted the defeat and didn't instigate a riot and did not come back whining about the unfair treatment.
So you have no point.

And even though you claim to be not for Trump you seem to make a lot more steps to understand him and his wild theories as you do for balanced people here trying to get over some generally accepted scientific values...

Trump said to protest "peacefully" so you have no point.
The capitol police instigated the riot.
