According to the Insurrection Act of 1807, the President can call an insurrection.

(Calling an insurrection allows him certain powers, such as federalizing the national guard.)

Did he?

Did Donald Trump call an insurrection on himself?

Let me point out that within three years of the end of the Civil War, President Andrew Johnson issued a full and unconditional pardon to all the Confederates. Have the sob’s in the Democrapic Party even thought of being so generous?

The principle of reconciliation was laid out by President Lincoln in the Second Inaugural (in broad terms) and in his proposal to Congress that, except for the Confederates who mistreated POWs, there should be reconciliation after the war.

The same principle was expressed by General U.S. Grant at Appomattox, in the terms of surrender of Lee’s army; and, by General William Tecumseh Sherman, in the terms of surrender of Johnston’s army.

But the Democraps don’t believe in reconciliation. They are motivated by hatred and envy. They reveal in their harsh treatment of Trump and others, what they will do to the rest of us should they consolidate power.

There have been several terms thrown around by the left, one being “seditious acts” and another being something that is similar- yet none of the protestors have been convicted of anything close to what they were charged with that i know of? I think the c.osest they came to it was for the founder of the proud boys when they convicted him falsely of “seditious conspiracy”, but was acquitted of that charge and convicted of lesser charges but still given 22 years in prison

No, and they will never think of that generosity... Remember, Andrew Johnson was himself a Democrat. Today’s democrats are more similar to Marxists than the democrats of post-Civil War America.
