Aside from a tiny group of fools, no one questioned that Trump won the 2016 election. Hillary conceded within a day. He won based on the rules to win the presidency. Whether he knew or not, it was clear certain foreign adversaries pushed to have him elected. There were protests wearing pussy hats, which has proven to be an appropriate reaction given the recent ruling.

Trump has never conceded and directed an angry mob that he knew was armed (Jan 6 hearings had the audio proving he knew they were armed) to at-best intimidate legislatures, at-worst to kill them. That happened.

Don't equivocate the scenarios.
