Especially after we just had widespread arson and looting in every American city all summer while these same people heaped praise on the perpetrators.

AFAICT most protestors over the summer were peaceful. There didn't seem to be much sympathy for those destroying property or stealing merchandise.

Regardless I'd agree that the Jan. 6 protestors weren't trying to incite terror so much as stop a process they've been convinced was flawed.

Hopefully with a change of government the US political culture can mellow and maybe even reconcile a bit.
