IF they had weapons -like a lot of guns- and executed some congressmen and seiged the place or burned it to the ground THEN it would have been an insurrection. What it actually was was a bunch of unprepared retards screwing around, vandalism & assault at worse.
If? They had weapons, and yes, some of them had guns. Just because Tucker Carlson said "no one had guns", doesn't warp it into reality,
They literally chanted about hanging Mike Pence and others commenting on murdering Nancy Pelosi. Luckily they failed.
I like how you state that since the Capital wasn't "burned to the ground", then it's not an insurrection. Definition of Insurrection: "a violent uprising against an authority or government." Check and check and check.
You people and your downplaying of Jan 6th. It's rather deplorable, but expected.
OK Fine, if it gets me out of the you people classification, OK it was everything you said it was and let's execute all those people in the town square so no one ever does that again, let's burn Trump at the stake so he doesn't do that shit again, happy now?
Because they were armec to the teeth and playing for keeps.
How many have they shot again?

They were both armed and they had a politically motivated purpose, to stop the peaceful transfer of power and to keep Trump as president, even though he lost the election. Insurrection: Check. Attempted Coup: Check Domestic Terrorism: Check
It doesn't matter how many times you people make your special rules and/or move the goal post. Jan 6th 2021 will go down in the history books as a violent insurrection, failed coup and as domestic terrorism. Future school children will read about how the 45th President (and Trumpers) tried to subvert democracy because they can't handle losing a fair election.
Still waiting on the death count. Surely these insurrectionists must have shot many people?

Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Everyone that supported and/or voted for Trump in 2016 and again in 2020 is in part responsible for the Jan 6th 2021 insurrection, domestic terrorist attack on the capital and failed coup.
Jan 6th didn't happen overnight or in a vacuum, the seed was planted in 2016 when Trumpers either condoned Trump's ever increasing violent "knock the crap out of him!" rhetoric or claimed Trump wasn't doing it as a means to protect him, thereby emboldening Trump.
If Trumpers had put Trump in check early on, he would have either stopped the calls to violence then or lost the election.
My favorite part about all of this is that he has a strangle-hold on the Republcan voters. The party wants to push DeSantis, but the base wants Trump by a factor of 2:1. And the more exposure DeSantis gets outside of Florida, the more unpopular he becomes. He does not understand that his extremist policies do not appeal to anyone outside of the meth swamp that is Florida. He is an unlikeable little manlet who would get destroyed by Trump in a debate, if only for the fact that Trump would tower over him, try to intimmidate him, and pepper him with nicknames and insults. He would walk away from that looking like he got bullied like a little *****.
To add: Trump's stranglehold on the GOP is the GOP's own doing, they romanced, coddled and protected him over and over, if they hadn't, he'd be politically dead.
Trump's a Frankenstein's monster of their own making and he's coming to shit all over them now. If he doesn't get the Republican nomination, he will run in his own "MAGA Patriot Party of Trump" and Biden wins, if Trump gets the nom, Biden is likely to beat him again.
Former Vice President Mike Pence testified Thursday before the federal grand jury convened by special counsel Jack Smith to investigate former President Donald Trump's efforts to hold onto power by overturning the results of the 2020 election.
Pence's appearance comes as Smith is believed to be wrapping up his investigation and possibly preparing to indict Trump on charges that could include obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States and insurrection. -snip
Pence testified for over 5 hours concerning what he knows and saw concerning the Jan 6th insurrection, domestic terrorist attack on the capital and failed coup.
Should be noted that he could have done so long before, he just did it because he was forced. He's a deplorable and a coward.
