That's what I thought too, but the author made an interesting point:

Calabresi suggests that the January 6 attack fits the definition of a "riot." Perhaps so. But "riot" and "insurrection" aren't mutually exclusive concepts. An event can be both at the same time. Indeed, that's a common occurrence in history.

A conservative professor made a counter post saying how Jan 6 was not an insurrection. Quite frankly I think this guy's false equivalencies are equal parts scary and hilarious. Jan 6th wasn't an insurrection because not enough people died, then he made a bunch of whataboutisms. The party of family values needs to learn empathy.

¿Por qué no los dos?

I'm going to be echoing a lot of these comments, but it really is a matter of perspective. In a day, a week, or a month after the anger inducing event, will you really be proud of yourself if you got angry and died on that hill? Once I realized that it really helps with a lot of other negative emotions like doubt, anxiety, and sadness.
