AFAICT most protestors over the summer were peaceful. There didn't seem to be much sympathy for those destroying property or stealing merchandise.

Regardless I'd agree that the Jan. 6 protestors weren't trying to incite terror so much as stop a process they've been convinced was flawed.

Hopefully with a change of government the US political culture can mellow and maybe even reconcile a bit.
