Dope: Because all it (Jan6) was was a protest that turned into a riot.
If you swallow the line that "our democracy was in peril"...then you don't understand a damn thing about our country.

See? It never was a protest - it was a planned disruption of the peaceful transition of power. Here's the rub, if you would admit that there were insurrectionist elements in the crowd that deliberately and violently went into the capital building and that they had the intent of disrupting the count and the peaceful transition of power, I wouldn't think that there is much peril to our democracy. But as long as you keep saying that it was a protest that turned into a riot, and there was no danger to our democracy, I'll continue to think that the anti-democratic forces in our country are a danger that needs to be extinguished.
