      Ah yes, the bit where he told people to be peaceful and to not cause any damage or harm anyone.

      There was no “attempted insurrection”. No one was attempting to overthrow the government lol. A bunch of people walked through open doors, doors opened by the police and security, and basically were given a tour of the building while taking selfies.

      Remind me - is prosecuting a political opponent leading up to an election protecting democracy or approaching fascism?

            Oh, I dunno - possibly by storming the seat of government in the name of a guy who lost an election?

            Don’t play dumb. Or maybe you’re not playing…

              How does that overthrow the government?

              How many selfies do you have to take in a government building before the government is overthrown?

                So, it doesn’t count because they were incompetent and didn’t get what they wanted.

                  What do you think they tried to do on that day that they failed to do?
