      The protestors against the nomination and selection of kavenaugh did not breach the doors, nobody died, proceedings were not disrupted, the aim of the protestors was not to lynch the sitting vice president and overthrow the government but to say “we shouldn’t hire a rapist,” no congresspersons toured the kav protestors, no congresspersons tweeted the live location of potential targets, … What, exactly, in your definition qualifies an insurrection? Could you define the word right now for us without looking it up? Would any dictionary agree with that definition?

      This feeble attempt at rewriting history is shivering nude, though I admit I am glad you agree that J6 was an insurrection, even if to get there you had to draw this false equivalence.

      edit: Oh, I almost forgot: 🤡

      False equivalence as the other guy said, but also Jan 6 was so much funnier. I think about the guy tazing his balls whenever I hear a media person say “civil war???”
