They are probably all just temporary dramatic outbursts, but still, everyone needs to take a breath. If you didn't have any media you probably wouldn't have even noticed the Trump -> Biden transition.
Revolutions have happened over less. The King of France lost his head because a small group of angry women marched on his palace, changing the course of history. Even if the net impact of this event is small, it is still _important_ and worthy of awareness.
I generally don't subscribe to the "this event is more important than the news cycles let it be" thought. Its argument boils down to strawman or quickly circles to "news bubbles are a problem".
> That's so much worse than the guys walking around the capitol building and shuffling papers, yet people only remember the date of the great January 6th nothingburger because it's the one convenient to the establishment.
I don't think that's a fair characterization of the day. Security personnel were _murdered_ in the _capital building_. Six people died. President Trump himself labeled it as the "Save America Rally". The _stated_ goal was to defraud an election. I'm sorry, I don't subscribe to your view that it was an event blown out of proportion. It is very much just as noteworthy as every Revolution Precursor I have ever heard.
As an aside, I find the comparison of the Trump Assassination Attempt and the Jan 6 Uprising as if one is more important than the other is false. Both are very much reprehensible acts of political violence aimed at destabilizing the American institution. Bluntly, they both terrify me. That one seems "overblown" says more about your political beliefs than you think.
