Are people talking about Jan 6 hateful? I don't get what you're saying.

How often do you seen an intellectual debate regarding Jan 6, rather than an emotional one in which the other side is vehemently attacked?
I'm not sure what there is to 'intellectually debate' about it, but I saw a decent amount of relatively sober discussion at the time. Did you not?
People who still talk about it this far after the 24 hr new cycle has moved on probably have strong emotions around it, so it makes sense that recent conversation is more emotionally charged.
