If you don't assume it was, then 9/11 was an attempt to kill thousands of Americans, but not to overturn the US constitution or the choice of President.
The January 6 attack might not have intended to kill thousands, but they certainly intended to kill some, and they definitely intended to overturn both the constitution and the choice of President.
So there is a difference, yes, but they are equally serious. 

And back to the point: We have to look at more than just what Trump said before the attack.  If you want to judge those words softly, and say, no he didn't mean for them to storm the Capitol, that's fine, but, test that assumption  against his actions in the hours afterwards!

If Trump really didn't mean for those people to take his words that way, when did he find out that they were attacking, and did he immediately call the national guard?

If he didn't call on the national guard as soon as he found out about the breach, doesn't the assumption that he didn't incite the violent attack become totally ridiculous?!

The "insurrection" that you democrats like to call it was planned well before President Trump's speech that day.

President Trump said that they should "peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard".  Those words hardly "incite a violent attack".

President Trump gave the order to deploy the National Guard.

You and other leftist democrats like you have an alternate reality of what took place.
