You are correct in this. Most of the public has very little sympathy for Congress in general. Although the media is trying to make this into the Oklahoma City Bombing - Part Deux, the reality is the Capitol is not a sympathetic target full of daycare workers in the public's eyes. And no Congressmen or women were hurt; they all went home that day. The number of police injured or killed paled in comparison to what BLM has done in the past year. The public has a very short political memory, and the people who don't pay attention to politics (ie, the people who decide elections) will forget about this in 365 days.
The people on the conservative side who are making a big deal about this are the ones who are hoping to broom away Trump's positions on tariffs and immigration, and prepare the Wall Street Oligarchy to resume control in the 2022 Midterms.
As for those who are saying the CMPP (Capitol Mostly Peaceful Protest) set the Republican Cause backward: we're no worse off than what the Republican Establishment was hoping for 4 years ago, which was a Hillary victory. Well congratulations AHs, you ran two Plutocrats in the the GA Senate race, and finally got what you (sort of) wanted.
One potential silver lining of the crap-burger of Democrats temporarily being in control, is that it will focus peoples' attention on who the actually enemy really is for a while. You didn't like Trump? Fine, hope you're happy now. Get ready for a snout-full.
Now the Never-Trumpers can finally (maybe?) turn their energies away from tweaking Trump supporters, and return to (pretending to) fight the Democrats. If they can fight Dems as hard as they've fought Trump for 4 years, the midterms should be a breeze.
