Well, only as long as one pretends they didn't act like total assholes from 2016-2020. Fake Russian collusion, illegal "fishing" trips, abusing the system to try to depose the duly elected president. Telling the public to harass Republicans out in public, even when they're with their families.
Yeah, they really believe in democracy when they lose.

Yep, it's a rough game. Poor, poor MAGANazis, all they ever did was violently assault the Capitol attempting to block certification of the vote to make sure their Orange Jesus became the "duly elected" president-for-life. What's a little treason for funsies?

Nice whataboutery, though. You could set it to The William Tell Overture. . .

Why didn't they bring guns?

Why didn't they bring guns?

Who knows? Ain't like they got functioning brains or nothing. Maybe they thought hitting cops with steel poles and sections of fencing isn't assault with a deadly weapon and threatening legislators isn't treason. Ain't like they took legal advice.

How many days did the armed mob hold the Capital?

Sounds more like a riot than insurrection.

Their stated purpose was to prevent the Congress from fulfilling its Constitutional duty. In other words, they were trying to abrogate the Constitution. Which is an act of war. When the war is being waged by citizens of the state against whom it is being waged, that's called insurrection. It's also called treason in Article III of the Constitution.

Ummmmm. NO! No Article III. Which war?

18 USC 2383: Rebellion or insurrection.

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Pepperoni, salami, green pepper, green olives, hot banana peppers and feta. Well done please.

So when did this violence occur ? Before or after the Capital Police started firing smoke bonds and pepper spray into the peaceful crowd ?

Ah, the ol' "They had it comin', judge" defense. Works great in Westerns. Not so much in real life.

Well, maybe in Canaduh. Who the hell knows what y'all get up to.

Though, yeah, you do have a point. That asshole sitting at Pelosi's desk with his feet up sure looked like he was being attacked by the cops.

Nor was he attacking cops.

DOJ rejects QAnon Shaman's request to get his Jan. 6 helmet and spear back

Jacob Chansley should not get possession “of a spear and a helmet used to project strength" during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, federal prosecutors wrote.

​

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department doesn't want the Jan. 6 defendant known as "QAnon Shaman" to get back a helmet he wore and spear that he held when he stormed the U.S. Capitol in 2021 — at least for now.

Jacob Chansley, who has completed his prison sentence in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, had filed a motion seeking the return of his property back in May. He's also seeking to modify the terms and conditions of his supervised release due to recent litigation in other Jan. 6 cases that may impact his sentence.
