re: After A Pause, Jan. 6 Arrests Are Now Sharply Increasing.

I think the confusion comes from a general lack of understanding of basics parts of political science. The strength of a state is measured by its ability to peacefully transfer power. That means that any attempt to disrupt that is a critical attack on the state itself and our system as a whole. The protestors for Kavanaugh had no realistic aspirations for stopping the proceedings and while it can technically be the case, in this instance it did not represent a transfer of power. January 6th was a much more serious matter, and those that participated are being dealt with accordingly. The only ways that you can disagree with that is A) you do not have a basic understanding of government, or B) you hate America.
