6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I’ve not heard of it before

“Basically” should have clued you in on a hyperbolic statement. Their sentences are all very high for the actual crimes they committed (essentially just trespassing on government property for most of them, no different than sit-in protests). The feds cracked down as hard as they legally could
Look up what those people who didn’t serve any prison time were actually convicted of. It’s just minor misdemeanor shit like trespassing and vandalism because that’s all they could actually prove (because there was no conspiracy, no treason, and libs were overreaching by calling it such)

They stormed the capital. Yeah, it’s tresspassing, sure, but this is absolutely a “throw the book at them” sort of instance. There are places that would execute people for this.
But people have been charged with treason and conspiracy, there were pretty well known plans to hinder the election process, many people were charged with gun or other weapons violations, so I don’t know how much of an overreach it is to call it treason or part of an attempted coup? I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.
