It’s always much easier to for some folks to ignore the reality that American ‘government’ is largely composed of rules made by people, many of whom are ajax’s physical and/or ideological neighbors, and instead paint ‘government’ as a physical, monolithic bogeyman that they believe is trying to enslave them.
The Bolsheviks were people. And how did people get sent to Siberia for owning more than one horse in Russia? Someone closely associated with them who felt that was unfair complained to the government. Majority rule! And you're exactly right that it's not supposed to freedom.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Here’s a YouTube link with a playlist of 200 videos from the riots in chronological order:

My challenge for them is to find the ANTIFA.

That the crowd was infiltrated with Antifa is an all but un-falsifiable premise. Which is exactly what conspiracy theorists rely on.

Even if you allow for the idea that antifa "infiltrated the crowd," it's not like the crowd they infiltrated was reluctant to go along with their "staged" insurrection. In fact, it looks like a ton a Trump fans were happy with what antifa was doing, so much so that it's hard to see where antifa even is in those scenes.

Anyone in the "it was antifa" crowd is an unthinking moron.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

This would include Trump's entire base of supporters, which would be about 45% of all who voted Republican in the last election.
