Aren't you overstating what happened a bit? I want to remember it as just being a protest where some unfortunate violence took place, but that's not too uncommon for protests.
The fact that it took place in Washington doesn't make it any different from protests happening for other reasons in other places, in my opinion. I never felt an inkling of a threat that the government was ever at risk of being "overthrown," all I saw was angry white trash blowing off steam.
You are dangerously, comically naive. Just because you want to remember it as "just a protest" doesn't mitigate the facts. A president lost re-election, created a false conspiracy about the actual winner while actively trying to defraud the electoral process and then, when all other treachery failed, stirred up a violent protest, within which were organized agents of treason who supported said loser.
There has not yet been one single piece of evidence that, in any way, throws doubt on Trump's complicity or contradicts the idea that your simple protest was an organized coup. Trump's strategy is to cry "witch hunt" while attempting to block any and all evidence of his guilt, which continues to run out through his tiny fingers. It's a wonder to behold not just the open criminality of Trump, but the reductionism by apathetic fence-riders who apparently prefer quiet over justice for all.
I wonder about those who say they aren't Trump supporters but still desire to see his crimes against their country swept under the rug. I think they're all lying their asses off. That's EXACTLY the kind of support he wants from them, tacit acceptance. The rest he can get with lies, threats and treason.
