  What’s July 12th?

  Your logic is misaligned in this comment itself. In your comment you state that “generally things escalate from” and then list three different things . . . A protest, a riot, and an insurrection. This is because they are all different and your logical brain knows it. Your illogical brain uses them as an excuse for the right wing extreme behavior that occured during the god-damned insurrection. How any true patriot could be okay with what happened on the 6th is beyond me. We are supposed to be bonded as Americans. We are supposed to understand that we might not agree on everything, but we are in this together. We are supposed to agree that voting is sacred and that the results are the results.

  Protest - a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something.

  Riot - a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd.

  Insurrection - a violent uprising against an authority or government.

  The insurrectionists held an uprising against the government, stormed the capital, and threatened to take over and change the election results. This is fact neither born from one media outlet or another. It had witnesses and is a part of this countries history now.

  This is ridiculous. I have been at three protests this year so far. One for union rights, another for immigration rights, and the third for keeping the presidential powers in check. None of these are “trivial”. Maybe the real answer is that the privileged don’t feel the need to look at the bigger picture.

  That wasn’t a fucking protest. Give me a break. There’s a difference between a riot, an insurrection and a protest.
