You just continue to ignore the fact that the insurrection was an attempt at a coup, an attempt to deny Americans their vote in the election. It was a direct attempt at a subversion of our democracy, instigated by Trump. That pales in comparison to any looting of a liquor store, which got little notice outside the US. The attack on our democracy was covered, extensively and used by our enemies. Congratulations Trump.
