Revolting against civil or political authority is exactly what MAGA morons did on January 6th.OK, you know the definition of insurrection. None of those things happened--that is why NOBODY has been charged with insurrection. Morons.
2021 storming of the United States Capitol - Wikipedia
"Terminology used to refer to the event
"Naunihal Singh of the U.S. Naval War College, and author of Seizing Power: The Strategic Logic of Military Coups, wrote that the attack on the Capitol was 'an insurrection, a violent uprising against the government" and 'sedition' but not a coup because Trump did not order the military "to seize power on his behalf".[599][600]
"The Coup D'état Project of the Cline Center for Advanced Social Research at the University of Illinois, which tracks coups and coup attempts globally, classified the attack as an 'attempted dissident coup', defined as an unsuccessful coup attempt 'initiated by a small group of discontents' such as 'ex-military leaders, religious leaders, former government leaders, members of a legislature/parliament, and civilians [but not police or the military]'.
"The Cline Center said the 'organized, illegal attempt to intervene in the presidential transition' by displacing Congress met this definition.[601][602]
"Some political scientists identified the attack as an attempted self-coup, in which the head of government attempts to strong-arm the other branches of government to entrench power.[603]
"Academic Fiona Hill, a former member of Trump's National Security Council, described the attack, and Trump's actions in the months leading up to it, as an attempted self-coup.[604]
"The FBI classified the attack as domestic terrorism,[605][606] and the Congressional Research Service also concluded that the attack appeared to meet the federal definition of domestic terrorism.[6"
