Insurrectionist:

“The act or an instance of open revolt against civil authority or a constituted government.”

Revolt:

“to experience disgust or shock”

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/insurrectionist

Those do not strike me as “wrong” if one is at a meeting that describes the bad government has done and the fact that I'm sick of it, too.

In other words, being called a murderer is clearly wrong, but a harmless occasion could have all of us called “Insurrectionists,” similar to being called “Christians,” in offense. We just aren’t used to throwing such a word around.

I don’t think the dictionary’s definition is what Baldwhine meant. He called the family “insurrectionists,” meaning people committed to insurrection as a policy, or acting on a regular basis to perpetrate instances in open revolt against civil authority. Why? Because they were in DC on 1/6. Therefore, they participated in activities which led to destruction of federal property, even though there is no proof that they destroyed any themselves. They committed insurrection in their hearts, a thought crime.

So Bald-whine is both committing slander and totalitarian thought which could lead to totalitarian oppression.
