Not based on LIES....PROVEN LIES
This was NOT a protest or a demonstration. It was an attempted coup...it was sedition
Suggest you do some reading from the FBI, etc. To find the true horror of what happened and what was the intent.
If you are using "how about" ism to justify an attempted take over, you definitely have a problem.
Unfortunately, at my age, this memory will last forever and I suppose it should. I cannot imagine how this explained to children or grandchildren.
Jan 6 will long live.....versus 9/11, the differences are awesome. From the leader of the coup to the ignoring of the coup members constant theme of patriotism and respect for police....the constant talking about law and order which appears to just be about the ongoing con job.
Things, events, etc based on lies are really scary

Coup, phooey. Just like this past summer, there were protesters and a few nasty renegades. They didn’t storm the building with assault rifles, tanks or anything of that sort. It was a protest.
Strange how it’s accepable when the average person suffered even worse terror and damage for days and even months this past year but when it ruffles the feathers of the politicians, there is h*ll to pay.
BTW, what happened on January 6th, lol.[/QUOTE]
It was important because of the symbolism of what was attacked - the US peoples' house. And the purpose of the attack - to overturn the results of an election that was fixed in place legally and needed to only be formally certified.
It was a coup. Ultimately it was an unsuccessful coup, but a coup nonetheless. It fits the definition. The Capital Policeman died and many more were injured as they defended the Capital from a treasonous attack. The potential for many more deaths was huge. The US government was lucky to escape greater harm. There was a lot of bravery shown by individual patriots.
