For the first time in our history the transfer of power has turned violent. One of the most important buildings in the country was violently invaded by a mob of rioters, resulting in 1 death so far.
The fact that you or someone else thought it could be worse doesn't stop this being one of the worst assaults on our system of democracy in our history.
It was a riot against the exact process of the transfer of power, rioting under unproven & consistently debunked accusations literally as Congress was officiating the transfer of power. And it actually disrupted that process.
The fact that the transfer of power will occur doesn't mean there wasn't violence involved along the way.
