What do we call that exactly? 

That wasn't even covered in the "news" these guys watch.  :hrhr:

it's hard to know what to call that exactly because our institutions apparently have different standards depending on whether the people vote left or right. I would personally call it a protest or even a riot. I have a hard time calling something an insurrection unless there is a proportional amount of weaponry involved in comparison to the govt they are insurrecting against.

Can you give me some example of an insurrection that occurred in any point in History that didn't involve a large arsenal of weapons?

Did they though?
Or were they seeking shelter from being pelted with tear gas and rubber bullets WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE "RIOT".
The crowd was calm until that happened.

What would you call if it Democrats would have done it when Trump was in office?
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

There are definitely two perceptions of what happened that day. Trump supporters, and then everyone else.

I'll buy that. As long as there is NO proof that the goal was to prevent the certification of the election. If that was provably the goal, then I'd call it something more than a riot.

what do you think media outlets would have called that. My guess is a "mostly peaceful protest" and refer to the amount of people who stayed outside of the capital and never went in, compared to the amount who did go in.

And most have been arrested, tried and convicted. That's due process. Gawd liberals are pathetic.

And the security footage that proves me right.

That wasn't the security footage that Tucker Carleson was showing, was it?

When I lived in Colorado in the mid 70's, you saw bumper stickers that said

Don't Californicate Colorado

Sadly, they did Californicate Colorado and they did it good and hard

What did you call the 'Free Palestine' crew that invaded the capitol a few weeks ago? Or was that not covered in 'your news'?

Lets face it, anyone who hard-lines when it comes to politics is pathetic.  Rigid thinking and blind loyalty to people who couldn't give a fuck less about you/us is what got us in to this mess in the first place.
