What sets apart January 6 is that it was instigated and promoted by a seating president who had just lost an election with the backing of a significant portion of elected officials, all openly attempting to cancel a legitimate election. It was a direct attack on our democratic system of government. The fact that the tribalism of politics has gotten to the point that close to half of the country can’t even (or won’t) recognize this obvious fact is quite concerning for the future.
