Who in America Is Entitled to Call Who an Insurrectionist These Days?

3 May 2021 ~~ By Cliff Nichols
A friend recently asked me an interesting hypothetical question: if fraud and other means of chicanery were found to have been employed by insurrectionists to unlawfully upend the results of our nation’s 2020 election process, would that unlawful regime of insurrectionists have the moral authority to prosecute patriots for exactly that of which their regime is itself guilty—insurrection?
Wouldn’t that confront America with a bit of a conundrum?
That is, is it possible we could now have a government that—akin to the empire of King George—would prosecute those who—like our founding fathers—might find themselves impelled some day soon to sign a document akin to the Declaration of Independence?
For instance, something like the following:
An Abridged Hypothetical
DECLARATION OF LIBERTY
This document is to accurately set forth some of the current events that have caused those who have affixed their signatures hereto to firmly believe they could soon find themselves compelled to declare their freedom from the unlawful shackles of an illicit government.
As a necessary predicate for them to establish in the court of world opinion the legitimacy of such a declaration, the undersigned hereby commence by reaffirming the following truths to be self-evident:

[Affix Signatures]
Hmmm. This leaves me wondering … for the possible future edification of my friend, of course … were such a document to find itself posted on the internet and digitally signed by as many as 75 million or more patriotic verified voters, would the regime really still be inclined to send them all to jail …for insurrection … or, for that matter, for exercising their right to Speak Freely?


Comment:
Great document. Well stated. It should be sent to every Republican member of Congress and to every Republican state governor..
Technically speaking, such an insurrectionist government would lack moral authority to continue imposing itself, but the problem is that leftists have spent decades undermining the very notion of “moral authority” and disputing any attempt to identify sources of moral authority. Furthermore, an illegitimate government would not need to jail millions of dissidents, it would only need to hammer the most visible leaders of such a movement to scare millions into submission. So the tactic would be to say, “says who?” all the while disappearing rebel leaders.
Hmm...., I wonder how quickly the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Commies would impose stronger STASI laws and methods in America?
Indeed, haven't we seen that with the DOJ/FBI raid on the homes of Trump supporters and those protecting their homes from terrorists BLM/Antifa groups and recently the home of Rudy Giuliani...
 
could soon find themselves compelled to declare their freedom from the unlawful shackles of an illicit government.
"could soon"? That doesn't sound very demonstrative to me. The signers of that nothingburger document should be OK.
 
Traitors those who are against democracy, the republicans that find the presidential vote null and void.
 
folks that firebomb courthouse, storm the dept of tres, attempt to breach the white house, undermine the swearing in of a president, the folks that fund them, elected officials that work to undermine a election by spying on the new admin erc

these are insurrectionist and a threat to our republic
 
Websters of course. I'm thinking Townhall needs to be indicted for Murder. Murdering the English Language and the definition of insurrectionist.

: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

How does the noun insurrection differ from other similar words?​

Some common synonyms of insurrection are mutiny, rebellion, revolt, revolution, and uprising. While all these words mean "an outbreak against authority," revolt and insurrection imply an armed uprising that quickly fails or succeeds.

Not Poll workers, volunteers, elected officials from both parties, judges appointed by both parties.......
 
Throwing out Trumpian moral relativism, it is obvious that all Americans can call the January 6th rioters and their supporters "insurrectionists." Anyone who defends them is a "co-conspirator to foment insurgency in America."
 
So each of you has claimed the authority to call others and their ideals of freedom the criminals.... :abgg2q.jpg:
 
Much of the far right that is pushing right wing American fascism have crossed the line of criminality, imo, yes.
 
A vast multi state effort to steal the election after the votes were cast could at best be called a conspiracy, not an insurrection as defined by Webster's Dictionary. That fits the Jan 6th attack by the president mob on the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Horse crap. It was an insurrection: a poor, insentient attempt by fascist cucks and incels. Your attempt to cover the sedition is shameful.

Which one, and who is it that you think I'm covering for? The Squealers Conspiracy Theory or the Mobs Insurrection?
