Reply to comment by Full-Watercress-7743 in Brazil's electoral court rejects Bolsonaro election challenge by vitorgrs
The big deal is that Republicans attempted to overthrow a democratic election and incited a riot at the US Capitol building.
Even if Biden was in a coma, it wouldn't change that Republicans staged a coup (a poorly executed one nonetheless).

As a foreigner, it honestly didn't seem organized to me, but something organic because of the revolt with the election result.

There was an organized attempt to overthrow the election by changing the results in several states to have Trump declared President.
The riot itself may or may not have been organized from the top, but there were certainty militia groups that went there with the goal of insurrection. And the riot was caused by the rhetoric of Trump and other Republicans.
