[StanislavPetrov]

Insurrection is an absurdly inaccurate and hyperbolic term to refer to this crowd of misfits and deluded group of people. If you tried to destroy the planet by jumping up and down nobody intelligent would describe your antics as attempted planetary destruction no matter how devout your intent.

A mob that left multiple people dead and did widespread property damage/theft in an effort to overturn a democratic election after being egged on by the outgoing President, calling to hang the Vice President and “stop the steal,” rises to the level of insurrection. They literally attacked the Capitol, they were barely held off from getting their hands on Congress.

If they were able to successfully break into that room while Congress was still in there, what do you think would’ve happened? They would’ve invited them over for tea?

I don’t like engaging in speculation but I think it’s pretty obvious we would’ve had more casualties.
