Trump has at least 75 million supporters, that’s like California and Texas populations combined. That’s not a small amount of people you can just intimidate.
I can only think the reason for going down this road is to incite violence from their opposition.

When you storm the Capitol and try to basically overthrow the existing government, there are a lot of bad consequences. And those who did should have thought about that.

Yeah, only one problem with that... it didn't happen.
Get a grip.
There were anywhere from @200,000 to (I've heard from RSBN) over a million plus Trump supporters there.
How many 'stormed the capital'? 200? 300? So, 0.2% at most, of those who were there. Are you claiming that all 99.9 of the peaceful protestors are responsible for the actions of the few? I'm sure you said the same about the 'mostly peaceful' riots during the summer, right?
Also, have you seen the videos of the trump supporters - specifically the horns guy - being calmly and peacefully walked into the House chambers by the cops? I have. Or the video showing congresswoman Jayapal who let them in, then calmly walked over and got down on the floor to pose for a picture? I'm still looking for this one, but it apparently exists (link anyone?).
There were a few radical leftists (John Sullivan for one) instigating violence, and maybe a few Trump supporters got caught up in the emotional event. But it was absolutely not insurrection, any more than when Congress allowed the radical leftists in to protect the Cavanaugh confirmation hearings.

They don't know who we are, and that's what scares them.
