January 6th only took place because the sitting president told his supporters to storm the capitol and said he’d back them. There are Americans who are fighting what’s happening here and want to do more, but we are so disenfranchised disorganized that we really don’t have a lot of options other than getting ourselves killed or imprisoned without changing anything.
Democrats are equivalent to most center-right parties in Europe. They have historically and continue to pay lip-service to left-leaning causes while quietly backing whatever the fascists want. Those of us who want to change things have no locus of power behind which to organize.
And re: The Civil War, it was a much smaller country then, and each side in the conflict was backed by elites with power and organizational capacity.
Billionaires also footed the bill to organize and bus in the J6 insurrection crowd. There was also a bunch of planning to mitigate normal security measures. And it still didn’t work!
Are people really so out of touch that they think a few random people in Washington DC were able to try that on a whim?
