Tornados are tornados. Location and level of damage may vary, but they are apples versus apples.
Jan. 6, 2021 was only a few hours of ONE day, with a small percentage of the protestors actually entering the building, many it seems with police assistance. There was no general rioting in the streets, no commercial businesses vandalized, looted, arsoned, etc. as seen during the Summer of 2020. Only fatality was a female demonstrator murdered by a policeman.
Summer of 2020 saw "protests" in scores of cities in most of the states, stretching for a period of nearly 120 days, with tens, but more likely hundreds of thousands involved. Extensive looting, vandalism, arson, etc. of private businesses, also assaults on numerous city and federal buildings, near uncountable assaults and murders, and billions of dollars in damage. About like comparing a green pea to a watermelon.
Correct, in one sense they are two separate incidents, in the sense that a jaywalker versus a multi-vehicle collision with injuries and fatalities are two separate incidents.
We Patriots bring this up because Jan. 6, 2021 was not an attempted insurrection. Only those grossly ignorant of historical examples of insurrections could claim such when there was no firearm mob involved, no one claiming they were the new President, or Congressperson, etc. It was protest escalated out of hand, with evidence suggesting some fifth column implant agitators helping to provoke the incident.
Summer 2020 better fits the historical and military definitions of an insurrection since they started in outlying cities and communities first. Seizing the Capital usually comes later in the process after ground has been secured/captured in the "countryside". It happened in scores of cities and nearly every state. The protests/riots/insurrections ranged fro several weeks to a few months duration. There was widespread vandalism, looting, arson, riots, assaults, murders and other crimes committed. There was also what would amount to declarations of secession ("autonomous zones", etc.).
The arrests amount to a small, single digit percentage of those involved. Most arrests resulted in charges dropped, and very few prosecutions, compared to the vast numbers and timelines involved.

95% Of 2020 U.S. Riots Including 47 Fatalities Linked To Fascist Group Black Lives Matter
...Contrary to corporate media narratives, up to 95 percent of this summer’s riots are linked to Black Lives Matter activism, according to data collected by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED). The data also show that nearly 6 percent — or more than 1 in 20 — of U.S. protests between May 26 and Sept. 5 involved rioting, looting, and similar violence, including 47 fatalities.
ACLED is a nonprofit organization that tracks conflict across the globe. Its U.S. project that collected the summer protest data is supported by Princeton University. The project’s spreadsheet collating tens of thousands of data points documents 12,045 incidents of U.S. civil unrest from May 26, 2020 to Sept. 5, 2020. May 26 is the day after George Floyd’s death in police custody with enough fentanyl in his system to have died of an overdose if police had never touched him.
Of the 633 incidents coded as riots, 88 percent are recorded as involving Black Lives Matter activists. Data for 51 incidents lack information about the perpetrators’ identities. BLM activists were involved in 95 percent of the riots for which there is information about the perpetrators’ affiliation.
Early estimates from insurance agencies say the cost of this summer’s rioting will set a record surpassing that of the 1992 Rodney King riots, which cost an inflation-adjusted $1.2 billion. Much of that will be paid by taxpayers in the form of overtime and hazard pay for police and EMTs, emergency room visits, destruction of public property, and more. Of course, rioters are inflicting these costs during a time governments, and the people who fund them, have fewer resources due to coronavirus shutdowns and pent-up entitlement obligations.
A look at an interactive map illustrating the data shows just how widespread the summer BLM-linked rioting has been. It has not been limited merely to anarchist strongholds such as Portland, Oregon, or locales that saw media-spotlighted violent interactions between police and suspects, but has stretched across both major and minor U.S. cities and included dozens of locales with no violent police incidents this summer.
