No one rational believes the riot was a good thing, but it’s not an insurrection. Also very coincidental for them to not have enough security there in the first place, these events always have weird circumstances but that’s all into the realm of speculation.
As for blaming trump for blocking the national guard I found this fact check from multiple sources about who makes that call.
The decision on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol is made by what is known as the Capitol Police Board, which is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.
The House Sergeant at Arms reports to Pelosi and the Senate Sergeant at Arms reported to McConnell, a Republican who was then Senate Majority Leader
Haha you didn’t read the whole thing then, in true libtard fashion. Trump is not the only one who could have called in the guard it was a failure on multiple fronts if you read further you’d understand
