Yeah I mean it is a case of "Our beautiful removing calls to violence vs Their barbaric political suppression" but at the same time, using January 6th in the bit is how it's possibly a way to break into their head.

Take an event that is such a feature in their brainspace and ask them to imagine if it was so much worse than even their memories of the event. Imagine if the January 6th protestors really HAD been sent support and money by [spins wheel] Russia. Imagine they went around on their jeeps and trucks shooting police and National Guard. Ask them to relate to another group of people and how they might feel about a specific event of political violence in living memory.
