Call me a pessimist, but I expect another similar scene on inauguration day, maybe not at the event itself but individual violent protests in multiple states.
This cracks the seal in a lot of ways, because if there aren't mass arrests, this worked in terms of frightening and shocking a nation.
Not to sound glib, but basically a large mob of buck toothed hillbilly trump supporters with nothing more then bricks and placards and flags, just managed to storm a major government facility. That in itself is shocking and disturbing.
Also in terms of foreign effects, I would imagine that the US will do a major muscle flex internationally in the first weeks of Biden's presidency to show that America is still strong and resilient.
