I have read many an article with words like "hallowed halls" and "sacred ground". It's just a building, and with enough dollars it can be cleaned up and repaired. What I keep coming back to was the intent to overturn an election with force by disrupting a critical vote on the election that was in progress. That's not clutching at pearls, that's a threat to democracy and the rule of law.

> the intent to overturn an election with force by disrupting a critical vote on the election that was in progress.

what is the evidence of this intent?

You're never going to undo terrorizing congressmen and killing a federal agent.

This isn't getting walked back.

Congress seems to be taking it somewhat personally, for some reason that I can't possibly fathom.
It's amazing how many people on HN are falling back on ideology to make sense of what happened.
