- No insurrection in history has ever been unarmed, even slave rebellions fought with pitchforks and machetes. That is because insurrectionists expect to have to hold their gains against usually armed regime forces. Usually superior. You take a parliament chamber, you are not going to have it long once soldiers arrive with Bradleys and machine-guns.
- In insurrections, armed rebel forces, whether they are civilian or rebel military units, usually fight pitched street battles to keep those troops from ever arriving. This could devolve into civil war that last for years.
- Insurrectionists usually take TV and radio stations so they can announce that someone else is in charge.
Already can anyone not see how historically ignorant and lame-brained it is to call J6 an "insurrection" and a tiny handful of rioters "insurrectionists? Is everyone ready to agree that Democrats are the dumbest, most uneducated people on Earth. There is no such thing as an unarmed insurrection.
