The events were bad.
The events were Trump's fault.

If you're scared that the other party will submarine your chances of winning by simply re-broadcasting live news coverage of stuff that your party did, maybe you shouldn't have done that stuff.  Maybe you should have spoken out against it when it happened, and never stopped.

Yes, the events of 1/6/21 were bad, but there were not Trump's fault.

What about the riots in Fergusen and Minneapolis?  Whose fault were those?  Republicans spoke out against those events when they occurred and haven't stopped.  Why haven't Democrats done likewise?

There are only a few times every four years that the Constitution requires certain people to meet together.
If those meetings fail to take place, the Constitution is basically suspended. 
The riots in Ferguson and Minneapolis were bad.  But they did not threaten to overturn or suspend the US Constitution.

The events of January 6 2021 were absolutely Trump's fault.
His people set up a stage for a rally, with a public address system, projection screens, standing room for the crowd, everything they needed.
He then told them to go to the Capitol, which was not set up to host any large crowd event that day. What did he think would happen?
