J6ers didn't just ransack the building and kill a cop. Some of them were shouting "hang Mike Pence". Why were they shouting that? Because Pence wouldn't recognize the "alternate electors" as legitimate. That is, they (at least some of them) were literally protesting that Pence wouldn't cooperate with a scheme to steal the election. And they were breaking into the building where Mike Pence was, and where the Electoral College vote was. That - and not merely breaking into the building and doing vandalism - is the fundamental issue with J6.
