Insurrection: Revolting Against Civil Authority Or Government

How to trigger fake news fans: State the truth.

The Trump Party is so busy trying to control the narrative they can't stand it when someone uses a word they are trying desperately to suppress.

INSURRECTION
 
We have national elections every two years to legally overthrow the government.

Insurrection is the choice to not recognize democratic elections.

It thus should be treated as a very serious crime.

Even if one feels morally justified in reversing the will of the electorate,
one must be prepared to accept the consequences of not succeeding
and those consequences have historically been severe.
 
And so all the BLM/ANTIFA actions were also insurrections. You don't seem too upset about those despite them being far larger in scope and scale and body count.
 
The Big Lie:

"This is the state of the Republican Party at the moment: beholden to All Things Trump and fearful of seeming to give him or his allies even a moderate setback.

Since Election Day of last year, the GOP has been in sustained panic. Trump lost handily at the polls in an election that saw him compete for bombast but not technocratic accomplishments. Trump banked on the false belief that loud superseded competent and came up short. In defeat, he decided to claim the election was stolen. Trump tried—with zero success or credibility—to argue the whole affair was rigged and should be set aside. Having exhausted even his most ardent allies, he then urged a mob on Jan. 6 to descend on the U.S. Capitol to force Congress to discard the results. Despite some harrowing hours, that attempt failed too, Congress rejected Trump’s antics and Biden was confirmed the winner."

Well, fast forward some 10 months, and that terrifying day wasn’t merely a one-off. The GOP remains boxed-in by Trump’s false assertion, which deservedly is known in D.C. as The Big Lie. More than two-thirds of Republicans believe it. For those who watch Fox News, that number is 82%. For consumers of far-right news—think Newsmax and OAN—that number reaches near universal belief, at 97%.

These numbers are courtesy of a new study, out today, from the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution. The findings follow a similar May survey from the same pollsters and suggest a hardening of the belief that Trump is the rightful winner of the 2020 vote. In other words, the grievance is growing and the misinformation metastasizing.

If the ramifications of these sentiments were limited to what happened with Trump in 2020, this mightn’t be so worrisome. But it pervades the political environment. It’s why Kinzinger, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 riots and one of two Republicans participating in the House probe of it, has decided to exit stage right. (Illinois redistricting maps didn’t help, either, to be fair.) Youngkin’s embrace of the MAGA agenda in Virginia makes more sense given these numbers, despite its threat to alienate the independents that comprise roughly a quarter of the Virginia electorate. And Congressional Republicans’ refusal to consider the soft-infrastructure elements of Biden’s Build Back Better makes sense in this light as well.

The numbers also offer a bleak picture of how Republicans view this country. The survey suggests the GOP is hostile to change. More than half of the Republicans say they feel like a stranger in America and 80% of them say the country is at risk of losing its culture. That anxiety and paranoia can be toxic features in a political space, but animating nonetheless.

The survey also includes a rich piece of irony. When asked to define what makes someone “truly American,” a full 96% of Republicans say “respecting political institutions and laws” are critical—just as long as those institutions and laws defer to Trump and his Big Lie."

No, they were not. BLM was trying to get the police to quit abusing minorities and killing them. They were fighting to have their constitutional rights honored. At those demonstrations, the cops attacked them with gas , rubber bullets and clubs. At Trump's insurrection, the reds attacked the police and trashed the capitol. There is no similarity in who started the strife and what they were trying to say.

your party sucks on all issues. please stfu and lose gracefully.
 
The Trump Party Platform

1. Do whatever Trump says. If he changes his mind, forget his original promises such as campaign self-financing or cutting out tax loopholes for the rich. Get duped into giving the rich more tax breaks. If he says attack the government, do not hesitate. Do it right away. Go to prison if needed.

2. Deny reality. Live in the Trump Bubble. Make up your own pretend 'facts.'

3. Spread hatred by dehumanizing liberals, progressives, minorities and immigrants.

trying to compare an insurrection with race riots just means you are the dumbest meth addict on the planet...jesus H you are fucked up.

There seems to be a misunderstanding of what an insurrection is.

Let us review the definition of the word:

Merriam Webster: "an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government"

Seems pretty clear.

January 6th meets the definition.

But the Trump Party is struggling with this.

If they are going to embrace the act, at least own the word.

you are FOS as usual. the Jan 6 action was patriotic americans demanding that the truth of the 2020 election be exposed. the violence that occurred was the result of BLM and antifa infiltrators and undercover FBI agents representing the deep state's interests. the 2020 election was a left wing coup, nothing more.

the acts of liberal judges who are on the DNC or Soros payroll do not count for shit. Your obsession with drugs, especially meth, is a symptom of a deep seated mental problem. Must be that defective liberal gene (DRD 4) look it up, you might learn the reason for your insanity.
