It was a riot, as were the BLM riots.
Opinion mine.

"Let us agree to disagree."

I explained to you why there was never going to be a coup.
You would need the army to get involved, and we all know Trump NEVER had the support of the army.
Even the commander-in-chief rang his Chinese counterpart and told him that he would not respect any Trumpian military madness when he was President.

Overwhelmingly, the protestors on 1/6 just came for "the party" and were shocked that it turned into a riot.
Republicans are Ammmerian citizens, not terrorists, not to say there aren't miscreants, but you find them on the left also.
There were even antifa infiltrators agitating at the time.

Please, no left-wing fact-checking.
To suggest there were no ppl on the political left there is an overreach.

Remember this guy:




A second attempt at a demonstration never eventuated, presumably because Republicans overwhelmingly weren't interested in the previous nonsense.
Trump lost enormous support after the Capitol Hill fiasco, and so he should have.

I am sure you will agree that we are all entitled to have and express our own opinion.

It was an attempted coup because it was an organized attempt to illegally install Trump for a second term. That most of the protesters that day were peaceful that don’t matter, that the military was not involved does not matter, that it was poorly thought out does not matter, all that matters is that it was an organized attempt illegally install Trump.

They didn't show up for a party or to tour the capitol building. They should up with weapons and body armour and attempted to overthrow the US gov't by force. That's why hundreds of them have been sentenced to jail and some of them have been convicted of seditious conspiracy for their organized efforts to attack the US gov't.

Almost all domestic terrorists in the USA are far right wing fringe lunatics. There is no "both sides do this stuff." It's typically white male christian right wing loonies that commit acts of political violence and/or domestic terrorism in the USA. Almost always with few exceptions.

A federal appeals court Wednesday rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to block former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying before a federal grand jury that’s investigating the former president’s role in the Jan. 6 riot.

Trump can still appeal to the Supreme Court but has not indicated whether he will.

Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared Thursday before the federal grand jury convened as part of the special counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and remain in power, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The testimony is a significant development in the special counsel’s probe, as Pence could provide critical insights into Trump’s thinking in the days leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The former vice president published a memoir and Wall Street Journal opinion article detailing several of his interactions with Trump, but some details were left vague. Special counsel Jack Smith’s team is particularly interested in Trump’s efforts to try to block the certification of the election, NBC News previously reported.

Pence's appearance came amid an increased security presence at the federal courthouse in Washington on Thursday. NBC News spotted multiple black SUVs with tinted windows entering the parking garage in the morning. Two black SUVs entered the courthouse garage at around 9 a.m., an entrance that would allow witnesses to head up to the grand jury rooms on the third floor without being seen in the public areas of the courthouse.

The SUVs left the courthouse at about 4:30 p.m.

When reporters asked Chief Judge James Boasberg, who oversees grand jury proceedings, what was happening, he demurred.

A spokesman for special counsel Jack Smith declined to comment.

^thats not what the bolded text says nor what happened.

The results were already archived.
There was no possibility of overthrowing the results.
Had Pence acted the way Trump wanted, it would have only DEEELAAAYED the ratification process.
Are we klear now?

Have you read the bolded text? Have you seen any news about this for the last couple years?

trump wasn't trying to delay the certification for a few minutes. he was trying to block it and install himself as un-elected dictator.

Hence the bolded words and their definitions - accurately describing what happened regardless of what alternate reality you're trying to pitch here.

I have seen left-wing propaganda, yes.



No offence, but "rubbish".



You are entitled to your opinion...
