January 6 was part of an attempted coup d'etat in America. Don't let Trump and his allies tell you otherwise | Arwa Mahdawi
Briefly

"The sun shone brightly on 6 January 2021, as thousands gathered in Washington DC for a day of love, recharacterizing a violent coup attempt as a mere protest gone awry."
"Polls reveal a collective amnesia around 6 January; many Republicans now believe the participants were primarily non-violent and that they're being unfairly vilified."
"The riot on 6 January is often trivialized in light of its chaotic absurdity, overshadowing the serious threat it posed to democratic institutions and norms."
"Many ignore the broader context of Trump's orchestrated scheme, focusing instead on the riot, which obscures the attempt to undermine US democracy."
