So does everything settle down from here until the next crisis, or does this build up into something which follows relatively soon?

I'm inclined to think the former, although I honestly thought 1/6 would basically be a 'rowdy parade' through DC.

Karl Popperites and other such theorists have already taken power in the anglo-sphere (including Germany). It's just a matter of lack of enforcement of their ideals as it's not really practical to control a population like this. Only practical to steer public opinion through manufactured consent but not via cracking down on dissidents. There is just too much and as long as there are social ills there will always be someone opposing the government apparatus in some way shape or form.

I think a shock has been sent through the American system, that image of the Capitol covered in smoke and ripped flags and an angry mob is not far off the image of 9/11 with smoke pouring from the towers. Given that shock I suspect you'll have a year of soul searching on one side as the rate of conspiracy and insanity rises on the other.

Give it a year for that insanity to transpire once more into a crisis.

The latter, if only because there's a danger of similar events happening around Inauguration Day. After that, things may settle into a non-peace.

Directly due to the lies drummed up by Trump over the election, starting before the election, continuing after the election, drumming and drumming until the day of when he speaks to an angry crowd and tells them to march on the Capitol.

None of this was inevitable save for one man all in for himself and damn the consequences.

Well, sure, it's quite clear you've been walking around with your eyes closed if you think that.

Are you ever going to post a worthwhile argument that doesn't rely on dead buzzwords and stereotypes the Right loves to spread?

Both sides spread stereotypes about each other. No, I am not guiltless and am not pretending to be. But I don't see any buzzwords in this particular post.
