"Overplayed"? Did you see the actual footage of the event? The event in which people attacked Capitol Police and broke into the Capitol and tried to take power by force?

Yes, I saw a lot of footage and kept doing so as more was released. Not sure what power you thought they were trying to take by force, it was like the Dark Knight scene on Wall Street. There's no "power" in that building. A guy took Pelosi's podium- is that the power you're referring to?

I saw non-rioters open doors for them, the calm and polite lines of rioters walking out, a person asking where they should be giving their speech, and a few people doing funny pictures like they were in their elementary school classroom on a weekend.

I also saw two BBC leaders resigning because they purposefully doctored footage to fit their narrative. I saw how selective the footage shown was, and how specific the phrasing was to incite rage and/or fear. If there wasn't so much manipulation and so many lies around it, I wouldn't have to question the integrity of the people pushing the narrative.
