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.

Well articulated. I totally agree. As long as many on the right see it as a picnic or protest, or anything other than what it was, our democracy is in jeopardy. Democracy depends on a populace that isn't living in a fantasy.

History is replete with examples of people reinterpreting events, sanitizing or denying them. The results are seldom good. Orwell's dystopia relied heavily on that.
