No, I mean an actual coup attempt, not _at worst_ an illegal protest by a biased reading of a poorly written law.
Violent, was no worse than many other protests historically.
Coup? Really?
By sensationalizing it you're kind of fanning the flames.
People from the other party feel the need to respond to your sensationalism with sensationalism of their own.
So they create sensationalized stories about AOC calling supremecourt justices illegitimate when she was upset and just protesting.
And the cycle of demonizing and sensationalizing and gaslighting continues and we all spiral down.
That doesn't mean it wasn't violent. It's also only true if you squint at it pretty hard.

I'm not sensationalizing. Donald Trump and his associates planned and implemented a coordinated strategy to discard the results of a legally-run election in order to maintain power. That's a coup. The fact that they barely failed does not excuse it.
Take everything the Democrats do no matter how small and sensationalize and demonize.
And the rift will continue to grow
I'm very sorry that the current head of the Republican party is a criminal. That's about as much compassion as I can show, and it's more than they deserve.
The sides are not equal, and the way to healing is not "aww, what's a bit of seditious conspiracy between countrymen, water under the bridge".
Sorry, but Trump called for an armed insurrection, and he attempted vote fraud ordering Raffensperger to "find" votes. Demanding justice is nothing like demonization. If they did nothing wrong, then why did so many Trump loyalists ask for pardons?
