Because Jan 6 was completely normal.

Well, when you take a look at the other riots happening around that time, Jan 6th was 'mostly peaceful'

Whataboutism is a logical fallacy and doesn’t address the argument at hand

Adding context is not a logical fallacy.
The context is that the 2020 Mostly Peaceful Protests, a worldwide pandemic, and extreme political polarization weren't normal, either.

Isn't this whole thread whataboutism? The claim is the world will go back being as crazy as it was in 2020 (but OP gave a 2021 example) if Trump was let back on Twitter.
The counterargument was that the example given was actually in 2021, and the given example of crazy (Jan 6 2021) was less crazy than 2020 (BLM protests).

Just as an aside, whataboutism is not a logical fallacy.
