I think we will look back and see that was the day our Democracy nearly died. Stories will be written, some about the few heroes and some about seditionists.

NY Times:

“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of
several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!”

And as for the victims:

They shall not grow old
As we who are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And when the morning comes
We will remember them

The Remembrance Day Benediction

Remember remember !
The eighth of November
The Trumputin treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Trumputin treason
Should ever be forgot!

preference given to the orginal date that many Americans became aware of what was afoot.

It kinda fits - insurrection attempting to overthrow Parliament to restore the king...
We could wear buffalo horns and pelts and burn Trump in effigy...
