Maybe so, I don't even contradict it. I just don't care all that much about the narratives surrounding Jan6. The event is as grim as it is, meaning it's still pretty grim, why would I be bothered so much with all alleged or actual liberal framing? Shame on everyone who misuses it, sure, I am aware that happens. But why can't we look at the event itself without constantly mentioning that?

It's not about me not seeing it. It's about me not giving it the same relevance in this instance. To me it is merely a side aspect you insist to focus on. But I can sure repeat it, yeah it gets rhetorically misused, yeah it's contraproductive, no it does not mean that the faulty reactions to the event are even remotely as important or relevant as the events itself, Jan 6 and all the other coup attempts.
