Are you seriously equating inciting an insurrection with “not their brand of politics”?

Oh I don’t know, I think it was that mob of people who were spurred into literally storming the US Capitol building?

Ya know, that mob that followed the beck and call of a man who still refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy and results of democratic election?

Yeah I think that was the one...

Is this an insurrection: https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1380216557700284422?s=2... ? Happening now, same idea.

Of course not, just like the Jan 6 incident wasn’t. An insurrection involves intent to overthrow government, not merely protest.
