This country has become so politically polarized that an incident like the January 6th protest could easily happen again. Police are often out numbered during any type of protest and there are groups that have formed that can become violent and if Police don't have a plan to thwart that violence things can go south very fast.

Of course anything is possible but I don't think an incident like this would ever happen again because it's no longer an abstract idea where you don't know the results of the action.
Now it is clear or should be at least, that there was no pre-planning on how they would hold their "captured ground" and the penalties that will surely result in such folly. Now if these were committed Jihadist that didn't care whether they lived or died, that would be a different story but these were just emotionally stunted idiots who obviously never thought this through.
Naw, another attack like that, at the same place, never going to happen, but BLM and Antifa attacks on federal buildings and assaults on police officers, well, that's a whole different story which will be overlooked as the last riots have been over looked
Just an opinion.
And yeah, when law enforcement is un-prepared or simply unwilling to re-act as they did in major cities all last summer, things will go south very fast.
To bad when all those Mayors' said violence will not be tolerated, didn't mean it and had no plan to stop what they said they would not allow.
