Following the confirmation of Joe Biden's election victory, a violent mob, incited by Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol, leading to several deaths. The rioters specifically targeted lawmakers, highlighting the fear associated with a white mob in America. They claimed their motives were not insurrectionist but centered on issues such as tax cuts and deregulation. The riot also brought to light ongoing societal inequalities with one activist highlighting that had Black Lives Matter protestors attempted a similar action, they would have likely encountered deadly force before even reaching the Capitol steps.
