You keep thinking that any protest, any disruption is an "insurrection"...
...except the one where people actually invaded the seat of government.
How nice it must be to be so brain damaged and not able to remember a fucking thing.

BLM/Socialists/Antifa/Fascists/Marxists/Communists/Liberals/Democrats and what they have done and are trying to do falls in nicely with what the definition of insurrection is.
Did you forget CHAZ and CHOP?

Methinks that taking over parts of a city qualifies as "invading government".

Insurrections YOU never hear about up there in far-left-loonland. Your media won't LET you read the truth. Trudeau's a pink socks wearing pinko commie fag.
In early January of 49 B.C., Julius Caesar and his army crossed the Rubicon, triggering a Roman civil war that eventually led to Caesar's dictatorship. In early June of 2013, thousands of abortion rights protesters stormed the Texas State Capitol, successfully shutting down a Republican attempt to pass pro-life legislation. The press treated that insurrection as heroic.
In 2018, progressive protesters, inspired by Texas, stormed the Wisconsin Capitol to stop the legislature from passing right-to-work legislation. They forced their way in, vandalized the building and were declared heroes by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, but failed.
In 2021, Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol and were unsuccessful in their insurrection. Unlike the Texas and Wisconsin progressives, the Trump supporters in Washington are, to this day, vilified as insurrectionists and many have been carted off to federal prison - deservedly so. (RELATED: ALAN DERSHOWITZ: Can Universities Facing Antisemitism Lawsuits Hide Behind The First Amendment?)
The problem, of course, is the double standard. When Democrats storm the U.S. Capitol to block a vote on Brett Kavanaugh, they are excused. When they storm congressional buildings to protest for Hamas, they are excused. But get Trump supporters inside the U.S. Capitol and everyone demands denunciations. It should all be denounced. It should all be condemned. But the press and Democrats together rarely condemn the left-wing insurrections.
Remember, after a man killed Asian women in a spa in Atlanta in a demented and depraved act of trying to overcome his sexual addiction, Democrats lectured us on anti-Asian violence. When the data showed most anti-Asian violence in America is done by black men, progressives changed the subject while one University of Colorado professor tried to explain that the black men were just lashing out at others over their own oppression from systemic racism.
We see this, similarly, playing out with Israel. Chant "genocide for the trans community" on any college campus or "George Floyd got what he deserved," and Ivy League universities will take swift action against the deplorable conduct. But Ivy League college presidents testified before Congress the other day that calling for genocide of the Jewish people needs to be put into context.
Harvard forced an evolutionary biologist among its faculty to take a leave of absence after declaring on television that there are only two sexes, male and female. In a press conference at the United States Capitol, Harvard, MIT and University of Pennsylvania students told the world about antisemitic students storming dormitories, hunting Jews, calling for their deaths, and at least one university official insisting it is true that Israelis harvest the organs of Palestinians. Again, though, the Ivy League wants context for the anti-Semites and expulsions for the believers of biology. (RELATED: ERICK ERICKSON: We Would All Be Better Off If This Widely Popular Social Media Platform Disappeared)
On CNN the day after the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn tried to contextualize calls for genocide of Jews, the network featured stories on former President Donald Trump and a would-be dictatorship nonstop through the day. There were vastly more stories worrying about Trump than about the Ivy League presidents. Having not really paid attention to daytime news in some time, I was shocked at the wall-to-wall obsessive coverage of Trump and what he may or may not do.
Concurrently, the liberal publication The Atlantic is imagining the horrors of a second Trump term. It would, progressives believe, become a dictatorship. I fully believe Trump could very well get reelected and decide he will not leave. But I also fully believe the American system of government is far stronger than the writers of the Atlantic or talking heads on CNN think. Trump may not want to leave, but Congress, the Supreme Court, the military, the states and the Secret Service would toss him out on Jan. 20, 2029.
While I fully believe the system is strong enough to resist the ambitions of any one man and his supporters, it is notable how many on the Left and in the press doubt it. But after years of giving passes to the insurrectionists and genocide chanters of the Left, I understand the Left and much of the press know how many shocks to the system their side has given, and they worry their own insurrections, riots and resistance have led us too far past the American Rubicon. Many, I suspect, would be OK with the collapse of the system for a dictatorship, just not led by someone with an "R" next to his name.

On May 19, 1972, Ho Chi Minh's birthday, the leftist Democrat Weather Underground placed a bomb in the women's bathroom in the Air Force wing
of the Pentagon. The damage caused flooding that destroyed computer tapes holding classified information. Other radical groups worldwide applauded
the bombing, illustrated by German youths protesting against American
military systems in Frankfurt. This was "in retaliation for the U.S.
bombing raid in Hanoi."
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground: Haymarket Police Memorial Bombing
Shortly before the Days of Rage demonstrations on October 6, 1969, the
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground planted a bomb which blew up a
statue in Chicago commemorating the deaths of police officers during the
1886 Haymarket Riot.
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground: New York City Arson Attacks:
On February 21, 1970, at around 4:30 a.m., three gasoline-filled Molotov cocktails exploded in front of the home of New York Supreme Court Justice
John M. Murtagh, who was presiding over the pretrial hearings of the so-
called "Panther 21" members of the Black Panther Party over a plot to
bomb New York landmarks and department stores.
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground: Greenwich Village Townhouse Explosion:
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground members Diana Oughton, Ted Gold,
Terry Robbins, Cathy Wilkerson, and Kathy Boudin were making bombs in a Greenwich Village townhouse on March 6, 1970 when one of the bombs
detonated. Oughton, Gold, and Robbins were killed.
In response to the death of Black Panther members Fred Hampton and Mark Clark in December 1969 during a police raid, on May 21, 1970, the Leftist Democrat Weather Underground issued a "Declaration of War" against the United States government, using for the first time its new name, the "Weather Underground Organization" (WUO), adopting fake identities, and pursuing covert activities only.
These initially included preparations for a bombing of a U.S. military non- commissioned officers' dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in what Brian Flanagan said had been intended to be "the most horrific hit the United States government had ever suffered on its territory".
Then on June 9, 1970, their first publicly acknowledged bombing occurred at a New York City police station.
On June 9, 1970, a bomb made with ten sticks of dynamite exploded in the 240 Centre Street, the headquarters of the New York City Police Department. The explosion was preceded by a warning about six minutes prior to the detonation and was followed by a WUO claim of responsibility.
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground: Plot to Bomb Office of California
Senator
In November 1977, five Leftist Democrat Weather Underground members were arrested on conspiracy to bomb the office of California State Senator John Briggs. It was later revealed that the Revolutionary Committee and PFOC had been infiltrated by the FBI for almost six years.
FBI agents Richard J. Gianotti and William D. Reagan lost their cover in November when federal judges needed their testimony to issue warrants for the arrest of Clayton Van Lydegraf and four Weather people. The arrests were the results of the infiltration.
Leftist Democrat Weather Underground members Judith Bissell, Thomas Justesen, Leslie Mullin, and Marc Curtis pleaded guilty while Van Lydegraf, who helped write the 1974 Prairie Fire Manifesto, went to trial.
Within two years, many members of the Leftist Democrat Weather Underground turned themselves in after taking advantage of President Jimmy Carter's amnesty for draft dodgers. Mark Rudd turned himself in to authorities on January 20, 1978. Rudd was fined $4,000 and received two years' probation. Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers turned themselves in on December 3, 1980, in New York, with substantial media coverage. Charges were dropped for Ayers. Dohrn
received three years' probation and a $15,000 fine.
