You are wrong. It was thousands of insurrectionists -- many armed -- who wanted to stop the certification so that #TRE45ON could remain in power. Nearly 1,000 of them have been arrested and charged. You know that what they did was anathema to American values; that's why you are so desperate to minimize it. There is not a single thing they did that "put the country first." In fact, they insulted every single man and woman who fought and died so that we wouldn't be a dictatorship, ruled by a corrupt tyrant. You have often mentioned your pride in your own father, who served in WWII. I bet you that he would have been as horrified and appalled on Jan. 6 as the rest of us were -- insurrection-supporters excepted, of course.
I'm not sure why you brought racism into it other than the BLM fighting against it. If you value freedom and equality, then you should support BLM's efforts to bring attention to this problem. You shouldn't be trying to minimize what the insurrectionists did on Jan. 6.
