Three Facts About Jan 6th Your Leftist Friends Probably Don't Know
Use these three points when talking to people on the left to change their mind.

No one has been charged with terrorism, sedition, or insurrection
The Jan 6 investigation led by the FBI is the biggest investigation in FBI history, yet despite the left and mainstream media, (and notable Republican Ted Cruz,) continually calling this a violent terrorist attack or an insurrection, no one has been charged with insurrection, sedition, or terrorism. These are legal terms, yet these people throw them around with reckless abandon because it makes them feel good to do so, despite having no evidence to back it up. So when someone you're talking to says, “this was a violent terrorist attack on our nation’s capitol,” ask them for the proof. Was it a riot? Yes. Were many of the actors involved doing terrible things that should make millions of Americans upset? Most definitely. But to say this was a terrorist attack or insurrection is clearly being overzealous with what actually happened, and is misleading as well as dangerous to say.
700 people have been arrested, but not the pipe bomber?
Somehow this pipe bomber has not been arrested; a man who allegedly planted explosives at DNC and RNC locations to kill massive amounts of people on Jan 6, 2020 in Washington DC, one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the entire world. The FBI can go and find and arrest people across this country who didn’t even break into the capitol and show up in their neighborhoods with full SWAT gear, yet somehow they can’t catch this guy. This is unbelievable. Literally unbelievable. After an entire year the FBI still hasn’t made an arrest, yet people who didn’t even riot have been thrown in DC prisons in absolutely terrible conditions.
The left and right should both be able to come to two agreements from all this. First: we want the pipe bomber found, and if the feds already know who he is, we want the details released. If this was such a terrible guy who did this, the American people have a right to know what happened to him. I highly doubt we will ever find out who this guy really was, but we all should be making a stink about it regardless. Second: the political prisoners rotting in these DC jails need to be treated with some dignity. If BLM rioters were treated like these people in DC have been, there would be statues erected for them across the country and they would be made heroes by the mainstream media. All prisoners deserve to be treated with respect and fair living conditions, and both Democrats and Republicans need to come together to demand their conditions be made adequate and safe, not torturous and unbearable.
The left’s comparisons of Jan 6 to other events in U.S. history is insanity
If you go on social media, you won’t be hard pressed to find blue check mark journalists claiming that you can equate Jan 6 to 9/11 or the Pearl Harbor attacks. I say this with no hyperbole; this is absolutely crazy. 9/11 took the lives of 2,996 people, and over 6,000 people were injured. The Pearl Harbor attack took the lives of 2,403 U.S. personnel. To even try and even compare these attacks to the riots on Jan 6th just shows you how low the left will stoop to make a mockery out of people that don’t agree with their agenda. It is disgusting, and Republicans in congress need to be up in arms calling them out for this behavior, not agreeing with them and cowing to their narrative.
Today, the legacy media will be all hands on deck with their coverage of the events that took place last January 6th, but they will “forget” to mention the facts of the situation. You can be the one to take the truth and spread it to your networks, and demand the fair treatment of these prisoners. We can’t let these people get away with their lies and false narrative, and since they won’t present the facts and reality of what actually happened, it is up to us to spread the truth on what really transpired last January 6th.

People go on and on about Jan 6th, but no one talks about the BLM riots anymore...or should I say "peaceful protests"
Great writeup. Thanks for consolidating the facts and for taking the time to write.
