Insurrection defined:

a violent uprising against an authority or government.

They violently forced their way into our capital with the idea of intimidating the government to prevent them from handling the lawful business succession insofar as counting and acknowledging the lawfully cast electoral votes.

This isn't subjective its the simple literal dictionary definition of the word.

It's an editorialization of the word. Any riot involving a fight with cops would qualify if you stretch it that far.

The peaceful transfer of power based on democratic elections is at the very heart of democracy and they gathered to obstruct it by force in order to substitute their will backed by violence for the will of the people.

They didn't fight with the cops they beat and murdered cops in order to destroy democracy itself.

There was a gunshot. A woman died!

Why only a gun? What about the police officers that were beaten?

A gunshot by the alleged insurrection. Getting shot does not make one an organized rebellion attempt.

In a nation with as many guns as America, especially in the right wing demographic, I'd expect some shooting and a lot more organization before I upgrade from 'riot'. Insurrection is just political spin. Look at that picture with the goofball holding the speaker's podium and tell me these people were serious.

That goofball who is currently in prison awaiting trial and will end up in federal prison for a long time to come? We must have different definitions of serious.

So insurrections were only possible after the invention of firearms? That's weird.

And I'm assuming you mean one gunshot "from the aggressors" as one of the Capitol Police officers did fire their weapon in defense of the Capitol.

What would you call a group of armed people who forcibly enter a building in order to disrupt the work of a government and install an unelected leader to a position of power?
