--- "...to the standoff at Fort Sumter, the South Carolina outpost where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861."

A stupid analogy when thinking it is only a symbol for the long gone Confederacy by yet another Lefty journalist who cannot understand history.

"....built after British forces captured and occupied Washington during the War of 1812 via a naval attack."

Biden is not Lincoln attacking the Confederacy, but King George attacking a people, who changed British colonies into a free nation, and who wrote:

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

And more....

This is why today's Democrats hate actual democracy and tear away at this Republic.

It’s an incorrect analogy, just like Jesus was a homeless child.
