So? Democrats cheered rioters in 2021 who destroyed businesses of citizens. So what?
Jan. 6 was a Protest for Election Integrity, not an Insurrection against the U.S. Government

Dozens of messages, social media posts and videos show that leaders of the far-right Proud Boys not only planned for the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack but recruited others to help stop Joe Biden from becoming president, federal prosecutors said Thursday during opening statements in the seditious conspiracy trial.
“Let’s bring this new year with one word in mind…revolt,” defendant and then-Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio wrote to others in the group on January 1, 2021, according to prosecutors. “New year’s revolution.”
Prosecutor Jason McCullough told the jury that Proud Boys leaders were afraid a Biden presidency would mean the end of the organization and that, after President Donald Trump infamously said in a presidential debate in 2020, to “stand back and stand by,” the organization reached a turning point.

Too bad the Proud Boys failed. The world and the USA would be a much better place if they had been successful.

The Feds framed the Proud Boys. It has been shown they fabricated evidence sending a plan of attack to one from an informant working with the FBI. Try and keep up you uninformed POS.

You clearly get your alternative facts from Facebook. What a dumbass. Your username is the epitome of irony.
Biden: Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.
House Majority Whip Clyburn: I say to young people all the time, we should stand together in solidarity for that which we know to be the purpose for our existence, and that is to make a better country, a better world for those who must come after us. Breaking out a window will not contribute to that. Setting a fire, throwing stones at police officers, that's destructive behavior which will not contribute to anything that will make this a better country and make a better future for our children and our grandchildren.
Also, I tell my daughters all the time, just think about what you're doing and ask yourself the question will this make things better or worse.
'We're losing the message about justice': Des Moines community leaders fear attention now focused on violence
African American leaders say protests and confrontations with police in Des Moines reflect frustration with systemic injustice, a deep need for change.
www.usatoday.com
African American community leaders on Sunday told the Register that they fear the scenes of broken windows and police confrontations are shifting the focus away from the original intent.
"We're losing the message about justice," said state Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines. "The focus is now on the violence."
Abdul-Samad said he believes some people in the protests aren't thinking about justice but are using them for their own agendas and "misleading young people who are in pain."
He said he has concerns about safety, including for children who have been caught up in the protests. He urged parents to keep them at home late at night.
"When you start talking about burning a police station, when you start talking about looting a building, they're just setting up for nothing but destruction," he said. "You're setting up for someone to get hurt very bad."
Violence mars Portland protests, frustrates Black community
Protesters in the liberal, predominantly white city of Portland, Oregon, have taken to the streets peacefully every day for more than five weeks to decry police brutality.

“This is NOT the Black Lives Matter movement. This is chaos,” Kali Ladd, executive director of KairosPDX, wrote in a Facebook post. “These white actors are enacting dominance in a different form under the guise of equity ... White supremacy has many forms.”
Demonstrations elsewhere in the city have also grown increasingly violent. Early Friday, someone broke the windows of a federal courthouse and threw fireworks that started a fire inside the building.
One prominent Black leader wrote to Mayor Ted Wheeler and said some clashes had unfolded three blocks from his house. He said the problem was with “elements” that were “99% white” and did not represent the Black Lives Matter movement.
“It has nothing to do with helping Black people. These hoodlums are needlessly scaring neighbors and their children,” said Ron Herndon, who has fought for racial justice in Portland for four decades and led a school boycott in 1979 after the city closed predominantly Black schools. “At some point, enough is enough.”
Newly appointed Police Chief Chuck Lovell, who is Black, said the violence in North Portland was “offensive and hurtful” and has cost the city at least $6.2 million in overtime for its officers.
“People in that neighborhood were upset. That’s not something they’re going to tolerate ... and they came out and were very vocal,” Lovell said. “I think people sometimes look at the protest movement as one homogeneous group — and there’s definitely a segment here that is very violent.”
Chicago Police Arrest More Than 100 People After Looting Batters Downtown (Published 2020)
The city briefly raised most of the bridges to the main shopping and business district. Mayor Lori Lightfoot condemned the crowd’s actions as “abject criminal behavior.”
Alderman Raymond Lopez, whose ward is on the South Side, said he saw no connection between anger over police shootings and the widespread looting downtown.
“There is no social justice component to the criminal activity that we saw last night,” Mr. Lopez said. “This is simply about criminal actions by individuals who are hellbent to cause anarchy and chaos in the city of Chicago.”

It wasn't armed.
so right there your screed is dismissed out of hand.
The only direct violent death was of one of the protesters committed by one of the police officers.
How many police officers were assaulted during the summer of BLM? How many areas became "no go" areas for police, i.e. actual insurrections?

What do you think was happening in the Capitol that day that those MAGARATS were trying to stop?
And the doors were opened by MAGArats after they smashed in windows

So first you claim that nothing happened and there was no intent to stop anything and then you admit you wish they had succeeded

Now tell your audience who Peter Navarro is.
I don't see "organized" in that definition.
However, the January 6 insurrection was most certainly organized. Anyone with a three-digit IQ knows that.
The intention of the insurrection was to overturn a fair and square election. No ifs, ands, or buts.
The insurrectionists were planning with each other for months. And they were egged on by Trump and Steve Bannon and many others.
