I know that this is rhetorical, but the answer is this so everyone can redpill family and friends:
If someone who was there on the 6th gets arrested and charged with "insurrection", they will take that shit to court and win, and the people who brought those charges will have to face repercussions for levying such seriously false accusations. Furthermore, when that court case was won, it will immediately disprove their narrative.
When they put Trump on trial, they will chalk up their loss to "political bias" and "evil Republicans". Their narrative will only be exposed if any evidence is allowed to be admitted (which it won't), and Congress cannot face repercussions for bringing such blatantly false accusations in a trial of impeachment.
In other words, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by charging Trump, and nothing to gain and everything to lose by charging the everyday citizen.
