Their core demand up until two days ago was to depose our current federal government and replace it with a their own government. When is a cat not a cat? How clear must it be for you to understand?

Sounds like basically every protest since the summer of 2020.
Name me a protest since 2020 that had a specific and documented demand to appeal to a head of state to remove a democratically elected government and replace it with a "people's council" composed entirely of the protestors?
CHAZ/CHOP comes close. BLM and antifa decided it was better to just light federal buildings on fire with the intent of killing police inside.
That seems completely unrelated - it's a fair comparison to the actions of the protest itself (occupying a section of a downtown), but I'm not aware of any specific CHAZ / CHOP demands to permanently change the makeup or structure of any level of government, especially federal.
