So the actions in Portland and other U.S. cities during the summer made a violent crowd believe the election was stolen from them? Say what!?

LOL...no...I believe many of the events that took place added ammo in the minds of the people who stormed the capitol.
When the dominos start to fall...well...you know, one leads to another.
Sorry man, but I ain't buying into it. if people are dumb enough to think that it's ok to attack the capital in the fashion they did, just because of a riot or altercation of some kind by who they see as opposition.... Sorry, that just doesn't add up...
