Right. And if the Congresscritters had to wait until the next day or certify the election by Zoom, then the government is overthrown. Umm humm.quash said:I love how deeply you go into Dunning-Kruger mode.Amal Shuq-Up said:J6 wasn't an insurrection because it was not an insurrection. It does not meet the definition of insurrection. Moreover, it is silly on your part to try to draw a parallel between J6 and summer 2020 riots. The riots were massively worse for everyone than J6 except that some Congressmen and Congresswomen got scared.quash said:Amal Shuq-Up said:quash said:Amal Shuq-Up said:quash said:Amal Shuq-Up said:quash said:ShooterTX said:quash said:4th and Inches said:attempted assassination of a SCOTUS justice is worse than the jan 6th riots.

Not even close.
Not even close.
Then you truly are a ****ing idiot
You're the obvious idiot. That guy just wanted a tour of Justice Kavanaugh's house, maybe pick up a souvenir laptop, smear some **** on the wall, maybe wave a Confederate flag.
How many of the J6 protestors brought a firearm to the Capitol?
Ah, the "It's not an insurrection if a specific weapon was not used". Classic.
It is not an insurrection if all your doing is trespassing. The weapons or lack there of go to the object of the act. Even the peasants would bring somewhat sufficient tools when they wanted to overthrow the lord of the manor.Trespassing. Huh.
Well, at least you've moved on from "wandering tourists".
Man, I still remember those heady days when this was horrible, even without guns, because it was all Antifa and BLM. How times change.
You draw out another good distinction between the summer 2020 riots and J6. The 2020 riots resulted in arson, damage and destruction of businesses and buildings for several city blocks, and rapes occurred inside some of the "autonomous zones." I don't recall any of the J6 protestors doing anything half that violent.
Such a defense: January sixth was not an insurrection because nobody got raped.
It's not an insurrection because guns. Or rapes. Or failure.
And you completely overlook that it didn't happen on MAGA Tour Day at the the Capitol. Those Congressmen had a very specific job to do that today.
They planned and attempted to carry out the willful disruption of a democratic transfer of power by non-democratic means. Americans are bothered by such things. Usually.
You get all heated up over mail in ballots as an attack on democracy, but fail to recognize an actual one when it gets filmed live. You people amaze me with the depth of your TDS.
Rethink your argument, Socrates.
