What part of government did they take over or even try?
Jan.6th was a mostly peaceful protest.
Antifa.
CHAZ
CHOP
OWS
All insurrectionists.
All have: incited, set on foot, assisted, or engaged in rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the
laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto..."
> There is no insurrection in Portland.
Yeah... right.
"Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or
the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto..."
Active Participation: The defendant must have knowingly and intentionally incited, assisted, or engaged in the rebellion.
Antifa isn't rebelling?
"In summary, an insurrection is a high-level crime and a serious political act defined by its violence, its intent to subvert or
seize governmental authority, and its domestic origin. It is a direct challenge to the supremacy of the established state authority
and the rule of law."
IOW:
CHAZ
CHOP
OWS
And now, Antifa.
Jan. 6'ers did not "seize governmental authority"... CHAZ, CHOP and OWS did.
Jan. 6'ers rampaged and rioted, but did NOT "seize governmental authority".
CHAZ and CHOP and OWS did.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
