Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.
I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.
Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: “insurrection.” None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.
Yes it was different coverage. I saw dozens of people beating police and breaking open windows, doors, barricades, while chanting hang mike pence and similar slogans, all live in 1080p
I can think of a few other protests/riots that were a lot more violent and dangerous, that occured in a similar time period in the US, that seem to be all but forgotten…
Burning down city centers, looting from small businesses. Murdering people indiscriminately. It’s strange what the online community has fixated on.

I can’t stop laughing at this statement. Gonna bet you know what kind of person OP is just from this sentence alone.

A mostly peaceful protest.
Violent gun nuts brought no guns to over throw the government. That’s enough for me to know the narrative is not reality.

Just a friendly tour group.
Dang, changing a flag? That’s pretty scary.

I would be willing to bet 85% of the living US population had never heard that word before, let alone used it, until the news told them to do so
