My collected thoughts on Jan 6th:
1. Really bad
2. Rioters should be punished under the law
3. Obviously not a ‘coup’ or coup attempt or ‘insurrection’
4. Undeserving of the attention it continues to get/overblown by left/media
5. Doesn’t tell us much about state of the country

There should be enough here to piss off most parties
I get that there’s lots of commentaries about how awful it is that people have downplayed how bad it is, but most of the takes from serious people that I think miss the mark are about extrapolating too much from a really unique and isolated incident.
Lots of very weird things came together to make Jan 6th what it was, yet it was an event that launched a thousand think pieces about the GOP and Trump and white people and everything else. I get that it has narrative power, but I don’t think any of that makes sense.
