I don't have photographic evidence to show the podium from which the presiding officer of the House leads that body is not within the ropes
, but logic would dictate that it is not within the reach of tourists. But the other photographs are irrefutable evidence that the folks who breached the Capitol are not taking an orderly stroll.
Recall when trump began his presidency lying about the size of the crowd at his inauguration. That was a simple and easily disproven lie. Yet he focused on it to inflate his importance. Similarly, you focused on the orderliness of the invaders - mentioning several times that they stayed within the ropes. Your obvious point was to show that these white law-breakers were somehow better than the people of color who took to the streets to protest violence against other citizens in the name of the law. You use a false premise to build your case, and thereby do harm to any merits of your argument that might exist. Those merits, if they exist, remain hidden.
