A Big Problem With the 1/6 Coup Attempt
The attempted coup was not treated as a coup, as an attempt to overthrow our government. Wasn't taken as a coup by the MSM, but especially wasn't taken as a coup by Justice. It was looked upon as a peaceful protest turned violent, and is still being looked upon that way.
No one who was arrested inside the Capitol should have only been charged with, "entering or remaining in a restricted federal building,"
nor should any of them only been charged with "parading," nor should any of them only been charged with "demonstrating, picketing in the Capitol."
Those charges do not reveal what was going on that day, those charges hide what was going on that day and yet those are what the vast majority of people arrested that day were charged with.
To the best of my knowledge none have been indicted for "insurrection." To the best of my knowledge none have been indicted for "seditious conspiracy." To the best of my knowledge none have been arrested for "impeding the official proceedings of Congress"
although I did hear that charge was being considered.
All of this is on Justice. We have judges (except the 2 Trump appointed judges) complaining that prosecutors are not seeking stiff enough sentences. Many judges are taking it upon themselves to give stiffer sentences.
Every damn insurrectionist arrested inside the Capitol should have been charged with insurrection.
Just my 2 cents. Nothing is taken seriously if people aren't held accountable. For ****'s sake they stormed our Capitol building, ransacked it, practically demolished it, threw shit on the walls and then they are indicted for remaining in a restricted federal building, for parading, for demonstrating-picketing in the Capitol? We have a woman in Texas who was sent to jail for multiple years because she mistakenly voted at the wrong precinct. It's time for DOJ to get serious.

1. One more damn thing,
Every one of those insurrectionists should have been charged with "impeding the proceeding of Congress," a serious felony, because you know what, that's exactly what every one of them did.

A Big Problem With the 1/6 Coup Attempt
Actually, 1/6 has just two problems, from a Prog POV. 1. It wasn't a coup attempt or insurrection. 2. Most Americans know this.

Kinda tough to convince thinking Americans that it was an insurrection when it consisted of roughly 700 people in a country of 330 million. That’s 0.0000002% of the population. That’s not an insurrection.
Tell me when it’s 1,000,000 that “take over the Capital”, primitives, and maybe we’ll talk. But 700? That’s nothing.

Unlike the Soviet Union, mere accusation is not sufficient to pursue a case. The Constitution is still in effect. The burden of proof falls on the state to prove that unarmed people taking selfies are committing treason.

I distinctly remember Chuck Schumer speaking from the rubble of the Capitol, just hours after it was "demolished".

Thank you, as that was my thought as well. At the time and almost a year later, there WAS NO COUP or insurrection. By the definition of "insurrection", it describes every last bit of rioting/looting in the aftermath of the George Floyd murder.

Occam's Razor. It is looked upon that way bc that is what it WAS.
