I'm not saying these people who stormed the Capitol did the right thing. Far from it.
What we're seeing is this being used as a blunt instrument to suppress the non-extremist components of that disagreement.
That "non-extremist" component is patriotic. It is extremely large and also very angry. Treating them as if they are the same as the people who did this is ill-advised.
