A few quick thoughts:
1) This was a coordinated, nationwide effort (see the break-ins & protests at various state houses ).
2) This was a massive recruiting success for fascists in the US. They don't see themselves as defeated. This was to them a charivari, a rehearsal. 1/
3) The international dimension of the rise of the fascists was on display with all the international flags being flown in the protests. 2/
And most alarmingly,

4) The police stood aside, let them in, didn't arrest but a dozen people. They helped them by inaction. Next time they will help with coordinated action.

Good night. /fin
