We all watched protesters demonstrate in a public building, and yes, disrupt the transition of power. Peaceful disruption of the government is the quintessential act of protest.

>call the press the “enemy of the free state.”

Criticism of media is terrorism?

>kidnap elected officials

That group was comprised almost entirely of undercover agents along with a couple of mentally ill people. The FBI orchestrated the entire thing.

>disrupt transfer of power

Again, a valid target for protest.

In a democracy, the results of a free and fair election are actually not a valid target of protest if your form of protest entails an attempt to overturn those results.

Feel free to disrupt traffic and make a scene elsewhere.

In a democracy, people should be allowed to protest if they believe an election is not free and fair, no? If not, why? This is a strange line in the sand that to my knowledge has never existed before in American history. People have protested and contested elections numerous times.

Yes, disrupt the worker bees, not the queen.

Edit: it does seem strange that you wouldn't include some sort of disclaimer in this convo about your employer's stake in "counter-terrorism".
