They are Both Right: rioters with criminal intent infiltrated an otherwise peaceful protest to create such chaos that both innocent law-abiding citizens and truly criminal co-conspirators were mixed together in a crowd which became dangerous and deadly.
Lives were lost while many people and police intended the demonstration to remain civil peaceful and legal. Both are right: the people there to protest lawfully have equal right to defend their Constitutional rights by law that other people violated and should be held accountable.
As for the election process: two of three conditions are still contested as unlawful while the third condition (of Congress voting to certify the results) was met. The other two conditions (regarding the lack of notarization for millions of contested mailin ballots, and the lack of formal vote by state legislators on these rule changes) have rendered the election results faith-based (with neither ability to prove or disprove the contested mailin ballots without notarization, nor the validity or invalidity of rule changes neither proven nor disproven to represent the voting public per state), so that the only proof that the election was valid is in Congress voting to certify "faith based" results.
Constitutionalists reserve the right to contest that vote by the First Amendment, while others can argue it fails to provide equal Public Accommodations for such people, discriminating and disparaging rights of people and states on the basis of creed, whether we agree or not. By the Code of Ethics of Govt Service,
www.ethics-commission.net, creed or party should not be imposed above Constitutional standards protecting all people's rights equally regardless of our beliefs.
This is probably the shortest summary of my position on the election and Jan 6.
I will send it to Cruz and another Republican chair in NH who made similar points, and see if we can organize a bipartisan statement co signed by D R L and maybe G or C party leaders. We need a consensus on this which includes and is fair to people of all beliefs, so we are represented equally in public policy, govt and media narratives.
Thank you. Please PM me if you want to add names of other party members to this statement, please share with local Democrats Libertarians Greens Constitutionalists or other Parties interested in proportional and equal representation instead of one party imposed on the entire nation which is causing these onesided battles for dominance instead of equal inclusion in the democratic process.
Thank you and Happy 2022!
