You know, I can't quite say that you're totally deluded here. There was definitely a deep disgust at authority, especially police authority. And violence did break out in reaction to that authority, so those situations that turned violent do fit the definition of insurrection, just as the situation on Jan 6.
But in such a discussion of moral relativity, it should matter how authority responded to those questioning it, no? And that's where a very stark gap emerges, again with an overwhelming flood of video and photographic evidence.
So accepting there were insurrections in 2020, do you believe there's a difference between an insurrection occuring in response to violent reprisal from authority, and one that occurs without such violence from government/the state?
Trumpists point to the Antifa riots and claim equivalence. But as bad as they were, they didn’t try to seize the seat of Congress in DC, nor did they call for the hanging of the sitting Vice President and the decertification of an election. They.Are.Not.The.Same. There is no moral equivalency. Antifa are assholes but they didn’t try to overthrow an elected national government.
There is no excuse for 1/6/2021. None. It was a travesty and an infamita.
