I think it's not the events themselves, it's the lack of knowledge about those events. When one hears that the UK fought WW2, one tends to think of a white British man, not an Indian man, although both are accurate. There was a vocal minority complaining about black french soldiers in the film Dunkirk being woke revisionism, despite the large numbers of colonial soldiers that fought for France on French soil.

I'm pretty sure it's possible to be jailed awaiting trial, but it's a completely legitimate part of law enforcement. It's normally done to flight risks or people who are considered threats if they're let out. Those two things definitely apply to a lot of the more intense Jan 6ers.
