Is “insurrectionist” a term that is legally concerning? If someone is called an idiot in a public forum, is that defamation?

Calling a person a protester is not a slander. “Insurrectionist” is in no way analogous to “idiot”. One is an allegation of criminal activity, which is slander if untrue. The other is an opinion on the quality of a person’s mind.

She and the other people in the lawsuit are being accused of a federal crime. This could impact potential employment, credit decisions, etc., without the defamed ever finding out why their were applications were declined.
In comparison, calling someone an idiot is just an emotional declaration with no criminal implications.

Well-the J6 event has NOT been proved an ‘insurrection’,....so it's slander, character assassination and libel to arbitrarily call someone an insurrectionist! THIS is what happens when the Liberals' fast-and-dirty game with words catches up with them!!!
It would be like calling a person a mafioso, if the mafia was never proved to be a criminal organization
