A viral post is reigniting debate over accountability after the January 6 Capitol attack, arguing that today’s political and global turmoil could have been avoided if Donald Trump had faced more severe consequences at the time.

Supporters, however, continue to reject that framing, pointing to ongoing legal battles and deep divisions over how the events of that day should be interpreted.
