57. I wouldn't call the Jan 6 attack as just a domestic terror event.

If it were just a bunch of Proud Boys, I'd agree. But when the primary instigators of the attack were from the highest levels of our government, with the goal of overthrowing the election results to keep Trump in power, I'd call that sedition at the least and possibly treason.

I think it's infuriating that Trump and his fellow insurrectionists will get off scott free with only some low level foot soldiers spending time in prison.
