Granted, things clearly got out of hand but was the government going to be overthrown and replaced by a rogue group? Nah.

A documentary was produced with a timeline of events of that day. Yes, the dramatic music beds are amateurishly annoying and unnecessary, but the guts of the assembled footage is compelling.

J6: A True Timeline gives the audience a never-before-seen timestamped blueprint for the events of January 6, 2021, as they unfolded in real time. No other film to date fills the gaps or tells the story chronologically the way this film does. The film is also different from anything produced to date because a small group of protestors, some who are J6 defendants, have been the ones to collect hours of footage to help contextualize the events of the day. The film was funded and produced entirely through small donations and tens of thousands of volunteer man hours. The hope is that the film will provoke all Americans to be more curious about the true timeline of January 6.
— J6: A True Timeline

January 6th was an example of what we’ve been told to acknowledge as a “peaceful protest”. There were also clear examples of law enforcement missteps and abuse, political cowardice, media bias and propaganda, unnecessary tragic injury and death. It could be argued there have been hundreds of liberal protests, over the last decade alone, that have brought much more damage and loss of life, many times over January 6th. No politician or government official was forcibly abducted and/or forced to relinquish the authority of the government to a hostile entity. That customarily occurs during your textbook dictionary definition of an “insurrection”.

January 6th was many things.

An “insurrection” it was not.
