I'm of the belief that the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol was a very serious thing and went beyond "mob violence," but I don't believe it was a terrorist attack.

I'm of the belief that the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol was a very serious thing and went beyond "mob violence," but I don't believe it was a terrorist attack. ("Attempted coup", etc. may be more appropriate) but the instigators were interested in more than just terrorizing people. Words have meaning.
