I’ve had to answer this a couple times already so I want to share it with you to help make some sense of the Capitol Hill Attack. In bold are the questions/comments from someone else and then my response follows. 
I don't know what these people expected by doing this. We must first remember that these are not the "average person". These are people who firmly believe in an underlying persecution. I grew up in such a cult, where we were taught that everyone is persecuting us, secretly or overtly. To account for the fact that we were part of a religious majority in the US, we were taught that the "other Christians" were not "true" Christians. They were liars who pretended to believe in God hoping for eternal life, but would vote for "worldly and Satanic" ideas like gay marriage or abortion.
These people genuinely believe that the entire political system of the United States is a Satanic cult that sacrifices children. They are told not to donate blood because the Satanic Leaders (politicians and celebrities) steal this blood in order to use it for youth (by putting it on their skin or ingesting it or both). In some cases, young Christian children are stolen and drained of blood for this purpose. They believe that Trump, and only Trump, was fighting a secret battle against the Powers That Be. They believed that Trump's lack of presidential activity/effects was due to him being far too busy fighting the secret Satanists. In other words, the fact he was ineffective (in public) meant he was effective (in private).
So, to your question: what did they expect by doing this? Any or all of the following:
die a glorious death for the man hand-selected by Jesus, thus gaining access to Heaven
they believed they would find the "hidden votes", exposing the Satanic Politicians and showing the world they were really right this whole time
force another recount, which would finally prove that Trump actually won
The election was fair, there's no damning evidence of election fraud and Trump's legal bullshit is baseless and a desperate attempt to cheat the system.
True. But these are not reasonable people we are dealing with. In their minds, the lack of evidence is the evidence, that cheating the system was done so well that they made sure to really cover their tracks. Oddly, they also believe that it was done so sloppily that they do have evidence in the form of a video that Trump referenced multiple times in his Georgia Phone Call. It doesn't matter that the actual, unedited footage wholly disagrees with Trump's accusations; remember, he was hand-selected by Jesus, and the people in possession of the unedited footage are hand-selected by Satan. This, then, means Trump's video and Trump's claims are automatically correct, while anyone else is a liar and holds forgeries. After all, Lucifer is "the Father of Lies", so his agents (politicians) surely can lie effectively.
Again, we are left with this problem: the lack of evidence is the evidence.
Storming the Capitol was a shitty idea, what was going to change? People are dead because of this "overthrow". The government wasn't going to be affected by this.
In addition to what I mentioned earlier, they have a very small view of the world. These are people who typically believe the Earth is only 6000 years old and evolution cannot happen because they cannot fathom the long periods of time it takes. These are people who believe that those of us outside of the US are all collectively lying about the SARS-CoV-2 virus so we can hurt President Trump's reputation. They cannot understand scale. They are the people who watch movies like “Independence Day”, where a single person who has no knowledge of alien computers can take down the entire fleet. They don't understand how complex things really are. Thus, they genuinely think a "last stand" type of attack on a building will bring on the glorious end to this troubled tale.
Trump repeatedly bashed people who protested for BLM and said it was violent, unnecessary, etc. But when people riot and kill in his name he's just like "well they didn't do anything wrong".
This is unfortunately an easy one to answer: if they're against me, they are wrong...but if they are for me, they are right.
This is a classic "in-group/out-group" type of thinking. In-Group: the group you belong to Out-Group: the group you do not belong to (often with directly opposing views) In this type of thinking, you stereotype the Out-Group by their worst actors but your worst actors in your In-Group are different. We can see this in the media in the form of the following examples:
Example A: foreigners who attack something on national soil are "terrorists", but domestic attackers are "troubled individuals"
Example B: if the majority is white, a 17 year-old black male who shoots some people is written about in the news as a "violent man" or "man opened fire on innocent victims". If the shooter is a 17 year-old white male, the news is characterizes him as a "troubled teen" or "boy open fires at school, family wonders where they went wrong"
Example C: if the minority religion has a passage in their holy book that says "Women are less than men", it's because that religion is clearly false and laughably erroneous; if the majority religion has a passage in their holy book that says "Women are less than men", it's not sexist and just needs to be understood in cultural context
The subconscious reasoning for this type of thinking is very tribal but also ego-preserving...that we each believe we are always making the most correct and most reasonable/logical choices, so if someone makes a different choice, that person and choice are unreasonable and illogical.
None of this excuses the behavior, but I hope it helps shed some light on this type of extreme thought process.

Copied and pasted:
US Americans:
It's Go time People! Here's a List of 20 GOP Senators who indicated they would possibly Indict (convict) Trump on the Impeachment charges. You'll likely leave a voice message or speak to a staffer.
Please urge the senator to vote to indict Trump to: ensure the health of our Democracy; to reclaim the Republican party from the its recent hijacking; so that they can sleep at night with their integrity; and so that their children and grandchildren will have their respect.
1. Mitch McConnell, 202-224-2541
2. Lisa Murkowski, 202-224-6665
3. Susan Collins, 202-224-2523
4. Mitt Romney, 202-224-5251
5. Pat Toomey, 202-224-4254
6. Ben Sasse, 202-224-4224
7. Rob Portman, 202-224-3353
8. Roy Blunt, 202-224-5721
9. Todd Young, 202-224-5623
10. Shelley Moore Capito, 202-224-6472
11. Richard Burr, 202-224-3154
12. Mike Lee, 202-224-5444
13. Jerry Moran, 202-224-6521
14. Mike Rounds, 202-224-5842
15. Bill Cassidy, 202-224-5824
16. Thom Tillis, 202-224-6342
17. Chuck Grassley, 202-224-3744
18. Joni Ernst, 202-224-3254
19. Tom Cotton, 202-224-2353
20. John Thune, 202-224-2321
It's worth calling other senators too. They need to know that the people want justice. You can phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the Senate office you request.

Whenever I criticize Trump, people will bring up bad stuff Obama did and I’m like...yeah, I criticized him for that, too. I supported Obama and generally think of him as a great President, and although he did nothing as horrible as the things that Trump has done, I do find fault in some of the things he did (ex: He could have handled the situation at the border more humanly, although he did so much better than Trump). I’m not just blindly following a leader and justifying everything he does.
If you defend everything that a leader does, that’s a sign that you’re becoming part of a cult. That’s how we end up with this us vs them mentality.
