I am a bit concerned that all this ire aimed at the plebes trying to storm the capitol building detracts from the more significant threat. They were trying to influence election officials to ‘come up with votes’ and failing that, forging fake electors into the process and refusing to certify results. The “white collar” attempts to subvert the election are a more significant threat than a bunch of randos trying to break into the capitol building.
But with respect to the people storming the capitol building, as stated, key folks in that got years of prison time. I would consider that more than a “soft buttpat”. Nearly half of participants received at least some prison time.
