I do... Jan 6th was to try and overthrow a duly elected President!
They didn't "mob" the capitol--they violently invaded it with the intent to lynch the ex-VP and do mayhem to others, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trying to set fire to a police station is certainly a crime, but not remotely comparable to attempting to overthrow a duly elected government.
Not to be argumentative but didn't the Democratic Party and the majority of our major media outlets spend 4 years attempting the same?

I feel very fortunate, indeed, that that particular expression has not crossed my auditory apparatus yet. May it never be heard...
peaceful, easy feeling
If, by "overthrow" you mean employing Constitutionally guaranteed rights, like impeachment and voting? Thanks for the laugh.
No, I simply meant a previous mass attempt to "overthrow a duly elected government". I don't think we should use phrases like that unless we use it in every instance it applies, plus for all we know the previous attempts may have instigated the second so I'd rather focus on lessons learned.

Hanging Pence is much worse than setting a police station on fire. That’s obvious.
The psychology of mob mentality is interesting, yet totally destructive. When it results in violence and destruction I think we do a disservice to grade them.

No. They attempted to hold him accountable for his actions once he became president. I realize that he didn’t lie about a blowjob but contrary to republican opinion other things also qualify as high crimes and misdemeanors. At least in rational people’s eyes.
