"Hanging in effigy" involves hanging a doll or dummy in place of the person. I'm not aware of anyone at the capital bringing, or making, any such substitute. What they did bring was a noose and a gallows. You see what you want to, or at least you claim you do. They stormed the Capital during the counting of EC votes. In their minds, and according to Trump, to take over the country all they needed to do was stop the counting.
They didn't hang a dummy because you weren't available.
