Arnold's comparison is not as far off as people want to believe. The main reason being only that they were unsuccessful in this attempt. I believe if they actually had caught Pence, Pelosi, or any other Senator or Congress person it is highly likely they would have executed them. I've stated this in another thread to some laughter. They have been calling for executions and hangings, for what they call "treason", and I don't think they are joking around. Most of the crowd certainly wouldn't have wanted it to go that far, but I don't think they would have stopped it at that point. They weren't stopping anyone from fighting (and killing) cops, if they had managed to catch Pelosi or Pence they would have been far more enraged.
The other point I see people making is that none of this is Trump's fault because he told them to be peaceful and didn't explicitly direct them to enter the Capital Building. My opinion is the opposite, Trump uses Mobster speak to give instructions to people, and has been doing it for years. He never tells anyone to directly commit a crime, he says "I hope you can take care of that thing or I will be very disappointing". "You will never take back our country with weakness" after instructing them to march on the Capital Building where all the "very bad people" are committing treason. Rudy encouraged "Trial by combat". Don Jr. encouraged them to be "heroes" not "zeros".
Trump was thrilled when people were breaking into the building, and probably very disappointed when his mob couldn't figure out how to finish the job. He also wasn't impressed with the image his followers projected on tv.
Donald Trump was raging as the mob attacked the US Capitol, but not because of the scenes of destruction. He was upset the 'white trash mob' made him look bad, writes CAROLINE GRHAM.

Trump was probably envisioning a much more capable revolutionary army showing up, and although there were plenty of law enforcement and military in the mob, the majority were not the best people.
Attacking the U.S. Capitol is not an act of patriotism. Obviously.

With this incited, massive crowd combined with the understaffed, unprepared, and in some cases cooperative security at the Capital Building, this disaster could have and probably should have been far worse. People have been manipulated by lies, and prepped to do bad things. Everyone that knows better that doesn't speak out against is complicit. Those who know better, but encourage further manipulation for their own political gain are comparable to Hitler's minions just as Biden compared Hawley and Cruz the other day. Arnold is giving the country a fair comparison and a fair warning, he is a true American Patriot, who loves this country more than most who were born here.
Also it was cool as shit that he pulled out the Conan sword.
