I mean, technically yes. The courts didn't prosecute Trump for his role in the coup attempt, and Trump pardoned everyone who faced legal penalty. Everything about Jan 6 has been determined to be okay and cool by the current US government.
It's almost like things that are lawful are not inherently moral or right. Slavery is still lawful in the U.S.
If the law isn't enforced then it's practically legal, and well Trump made it defacto legal if he's just gonna pardon everyone involved
