It was an historically comparatively wussy insurrection
It was of special utility for Democrat party leaders and media to promote the January 6 mass protests of election results to the level of insurrection. The mass protest of innumerable facets of Democrat party conduct during and even before the Trump administration reached a crescendo on the 6th of January. The protest was like countless others of Black Lives Matter protests to those of the Vietnam War and 1968 Democrat Party National Convention in Chicago that led to a minority element rioting and breaking in to buildings. Even protests on Wall Street during the 2008-9 financial meltdown led to buildings being illegally occupied and spurred an Occupy Wall Street movement. The January 6 events was of a similar ilk that was a priori entirely predictable. Tthe fact that it was in Washington D.C. at the national capitol meant the immediate building object of wrath of the demonstrators was the capitol building. It was a protest rather than one of the wussiest insurrections in world history.
During the years of the Trump administration the Democrat Party methodically upgraded its political attacks on the President of the United States beginning with the false charges of his collusion with Russia to win the 2016 election to the eventual impeachment. The enmity was exceptional so it was no surprise that Democrats took the opportunity to maximize accusations against the President and his supporters. People that Hillary Clinton named the reprehendsibles were morphed into the insurrectionists.
Plainly some very few reprehendsibles would have liked to put stretch ties on Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and even tar and feather them; that doesn’t make it an insurrection even if some would revolt and establish a dictatorship of Donald, a Spartan Republic led by philosopher kings, a whites only nation led by Casper the Hangman, a Utopian democracy with liberty and justice for all where the U.S.A. is great again replete with new episodes of the twilight zone and the Outer Limits each week or a purge of the Illuminati from the Deep State. Every collection of tens of thousands of political protesters has non-representative extremists in rather than a collective political consciousness uniformity of all sharing the same political motivation and beliefs. They are of a heterodox rather than a homologous composition.
Real insurrections are usually bloody affairs were people use things like guns to try to seize power. On January 5th not a single shot was fired by the protesters. Everyone and their brothers know the power of the U.S. Government is backed by the full support of those sworn to defend the constitution in the military and that no occupation in the capitol would result in a change of government comprising a revolution. In a nation with more than 500 mass shootings annually, actual insurrectionists attempting a revolt would have been able to manage to kill more than a policeman accidently or emergently squashed to death in a door by the pressure of a mob pushing on it..
Propaganda values of media repetition of the term insurrection ad nauseam would condition the masses to actually believe that the magic dragon actually existed behind the cloud of smoke and mirrors that is Democrat Party propaganda. With the Commander in Chief in charge of the military the notion that Donald Trump sought to employ the protesters as revolutionaries is completely absurd. President Trump’s appointees to Sec Def sometimes resigned; the Pentagon wasn’t stacked with Generals itching to support a Trump led Dictatorship or Junta with Donald Trump as leader. President Trump and most of the January 6 protesters were well aware that even if they blocked the capitol from being the site where electoral college certification of the election would happen by occupying it that it would only be a temporary delay since the Congress could meet anywhere it wanted to accomplish certification including Anchorage Alaska.
And why should President Trump have reacted swiftly to reinforce the security of the Democrats in Congress that had persecuted him since 2015? Mr. Trump is only human and it is not unreasonable to expect a politician not to be too swift to protect one’s political enemies that had recently impeached him though he wasn’t convicted by the Senate. Jesus Christ might have taught to love one’s enemies (“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”) yet he wouldn’t have been in office anyway as he said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s; worldly political power isn’t Godly even though God may predestine particular office holders to His own unknowable purposes (a comic break?’-”What is wisdom for man is foolishness to God”).
At some point one day the nation may return to honest politics with less sensationalism to simply reconcile themselves to a balanced budget, the elimination of poverty, secure borders and a restoring ecosystem with a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. In the meantime it is the lunacy of Democrat Party thought control extremists that shapes the nation’s political zeitgeist.
It is a mistake to debase the meaning of insurrection in order to support the convenient use-truth political values of one’s party. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were an insurrection of two, the late Ted Kuzinsky was an insurrection of one; he cared enough about the nation’s environmental situation to target and kill corporate officers that he felt did not meet his standards of environmental responsibility. Unlike most Americans he must have felt that the preferred revolutionary act of electing someone of one’s own party instead of that was the opposition wasn’t capable of saving the environment and world of anthropic degradation of the environment to the point where life on Earth is no longer humanly possible. Americans always reserve the right to revolt against corrupt, oppressive and ineffective and unresponsive government in some way or other, it is in their genes. That does not always mean they have the will or good sense to do so when it is actually necessary to preserve a perfect union.
The founders of the U.S.A. had sentiments that might as well have been informed by Kant’s categorical imperative wherein one should act as if one’s moral and ethical choices could be made into a universal law. It is plain that the Democrat party leaders aren’t always or even usually following that maxim. The January 6 Wussy Insurrection is not only history written by the victors, it is history written by liars.
