No, one can agree that it was a riot gone bad even an even more clear-eyed and neutral way. The emotional response is the "insurrection", "traitor" and other stuff.


Nope. But I realize you may cling to that and am sympathetic, but firm. Th"riot gone bad" is not recognizing that for months and weeks prior to that the internet was alive with chat that "something big is going to happen", "civil war" and that Trump said it would be wild on Jan 6, etc. So there was a build up, then people were told they needed to fight and sent down to the capitol. In and amongst them were insurrectionist elements. Saying it was a "riot gone bad" doesn't recognize there was a scheme to halt the peaceful transfer of power going on. The person who fomented the insurrection with Trump, Trump, and those who assisted the scheme (elector slates, plans to capture polies) are traitors, not necessarily in the Constitutional sense, but in the overall meaning of the word. They betrayed America. These points are made to you to drive home the seriousness of what happened, but they are also very real.
