It’s tough. He was radicalized, largely by YouTube, from what I’ve read. I don’t believe prison should be punitive, just rehabilitative. If he really can come to terms with his radicalization, I don’t see why he can’t come back to reality and contribute to society.
I would want him to be required to attend therapy and psychiatric evaluation for a while at minimum. Tendency to conspiratorial thinking is something people like that battle their whole lives.
I think this is being blind to the scale of the issue.
The entire MAGA cult is as radicalized as this guy, some more, some less. But most probably as radicalized. There are maybe 1-3 million die-hards?
They successfully took the capitol in an attempted coup.
I’m sorry, but this sentiment of yours is misguided. He isn’t a one off. He’s part of a movement. We need to be considering this issue in a broader context.

Oh yeah, I’m definitely not advocating for him to just get let loose on the streets. Just saying he doesn’t need to spend his whole life behind bars

Ok, and the 5-10 million other people that are as radicalized/ if not more radicalized?
DO they get a pass because they ‘live in alternative reality’?
They would gas people they don’t approve of. This isn’t fucking around.
