Are you asking why it's a "big deal" that radicalized Trump supporters broke into the federal U.S. Capitol building, vandalized property, attacked and killed law enforcement, and threatened our democracy?

I was with you until you said threatened our democracy.   That rag tag group of mostly unarmed (guns) had a zero percent chance of destroying our system of government.  I would put it at less than zero if it were possible.

you do realize they were about 60 seconds from capturing members of congress and mike pence.   they had a gallows set up outside for some of their favorite targets...including mike pence since he didn't go along with trumps plan.

The act of rioting and vandalizing the U.S. Capitol during an official election event, for the purpose of causing disruption in the event and/or preventing it from happening, is a threat to democracy.

A threat to democracy does not mean they were going to "destroy our system." I think you're hyperbolizing what I'm trying to say. Voter fraud is a threat to democracy, but that doesn't mean an isolated incident of it will destroy our system. Hopefully that clears up my perspective.

Additionally, it still begs the question why someone would ask the ludicrous question of why it was a "big deal."

Did you feel the same when radical insurrectionists besieged  and terrorized the capital building during the Kavanaugh hearings?

Biden is the democratically elected president.

These people went to the Capitol the day the Electoral College votes put to bed any question of that with the express purpose of forcing Pence to capitulate to trump's wish to unilaterally throw out the Electoral College results and keep him in the White House. Zip-tie guys weren't there to play around.

That's a threat to our democracy any way you slice it.

you wouldn't know substance if it slapped you in the face.   you buy the drivel trump pushes even in the face of trump fanatics storming the capitol and killing policemen.   you are lost in the cult and refuse to see real "substance"   all you can see is what dear leader tells you.

It definitely is a big deal that people were able to enter the capital like that.  
 

I believe ‘threat to our democracy’ is a very vague term and therefor not the correct term to use IMO. 
 How big of threat?  Were we in danger of being taken over as a country? Was our system of government going to change? Was the transfer of power not going to happen?  What was the actual threat that would have changed any material way this country runs?  
 

I just think that term is a little hyperbole. Just my personnel opinion.  And for the clowns in the room, no I’m not downplaying anything that happened.
