Light sentences? really? One guy received 2 years in Federal prison, his charge, threw a rock at a door at the Capitol.
FWIW Im speaking solely on January 6th, and not going to engage in any whataboutisms, on past events no matter how legit it may or may not be. That's how these discussions go sideways, we don't need that here.
Even your Wikipedia source shows who was charged for what and how long, not sure what you expected but numerous people were/are getting charged and convicted of sentences of 5 years up to 22 years in Federal prison. Even Trump's case is still ongoing.
The American wheels of justice move slowly combined with the size and scope of January 6th were unprecedented, but the courts are working just as they should. Like for instance the notoriously well-known Buffalo headdress guy was released because the man is mentally ill, again a fair and just decision.
As for Trump, his case, is just delayed, another completely normal function and procedure of the American justice system.
Not sure what you expected but more or less is working as it should.

One guy, maybe a few others too. See link. Most of them received light sentences in a major event we have never seen before. The person behind this event wasn't even charged and he could have ended along with many others in jail for long time. I don't think you pay attention to what is said in the thread but you do try to somehow defend the former president. Do you think his conviction is unfair? If you do then you should ask yourself why he wasn't convicted before for more serious matters.
History is not whataboutism. The Capitol riots is a historical event and the current conviction of Trump is another historical event.
