I was always anti Trump but the Democrats are ridiculous with this. The people invading the Capitol didn't actually shoot anybody - some of them smeared feces and broke things, which makes those people rioters, not insurrectionists. Compare and contrast the nighttime revelers after police shootings last summer - the Trumpers didn't even do an arson! A few were burglars or looters taking laptops and such, but rare. Then there's the people who walked in and milled around, smoked pot, took pictures of themselves in the rotunda with their flags. Those aren't rioters, they're at worst trespassers, and you can debate how trespassing it is if the Capitol cops stood aside and let you in. (Not so much if you crawled in a broken window) And then there's the whole misguided crowd outside the Capitol, who might be described as dupes and morons, but not criminals, despite those who make out like it's a heinous crime for somebody to believe his coup-conniving President and his pack of lies.
The Democrats should be focusing on a couple of people who were violent toward cops, stole voter letters to their representatives or defaced the Capitol, leave the rest alone, and get to the REAL issue of what so-called leadership of the Capitol cops told half of them to go home and relax and left the other half getting beaten up and yelling futilely for help while saying they needed no help from anyone. Because those leaders were the only real traitors in the whole event.
