People who call the few-hour riot at the Capitol by unarmed protesters an “insurrection” are bad people who are harming the country. PARTICULARLY so if they don’t use term for the months-long violent, coordinated attacks on White House, federal courthouses, small businesses, etc.
I’m infinitely more terrified of powerful people calling the riot an “insurrection” and rewriting reality as a ploy to seize unlimited/unaccountable power and brutally oppress their political opponents than I am of Mr. Buffalo Head or Grandma-in-the-Rotunda, or Mr. Feet on Desk.
Also, to call it “deadly” after spending months brazenly lying that protesters killed a cop while downplaying the fact that the only killing was of an unarmed protester by a still-anonymous cop is ... peak propaganda.
