Someone suggested the Lite Beer Hall Putsch.  That sounds about right to me.

Probably just "Storming of the Capitol"

Anything but "1/6." I hate the idea that this might be turned into another 9/11 (the two events aren't event comparable, and this is coming from someone who is deeply hostile to the security state expansion that 9/11 triggered).

Tom Nichols coined "Beer Belly Putsch", which is my favorite so far.

You're right. They're not comparable.

What happened Wednesday was a thousand times worse.

Joking aside, I think a good name would be the Trump Putsch or Trumputsch. It keeps it simple, places blame where it goes, and has some  very appropriate associations. (I suppose the Dumbputsch or Dumputsch would also work. As with everything Donald Trump tries, it was really, really stupid.)

I like Beer Gut Putsch, but I don't think the word "putsch" is commonly known enough for it to catch on. Coup (or Koup) Klux Klan is brilliant too.

Should mark it like an American Guy Fawkes Day though, you can burn the effigy of the bad orange man every year on Jan 6.

Again, we should just associate it with a slogan.

Remember the Capitol.

CNN is running a special Sunday night with that title.

The January 6th terrorist attacks, or just 1/6.
Same naming convention as 9/11, no cool nickname.

Storming of the Capitol makes it sound like the Bastille though.

We need the name to be both bland and damning.

After Wednesday"s events it will be called bloody Wednesday, the day the R party will be in the minority, these events have hurt Rs chances in 2022 and 2024 due to fact Lara Trump, Hawley won't be candidates in the future
