I... What?
How did this get upvoted? One of those impeachments was literally for insurrection. And it passed, with Republican votes!
The other was for illegally stopping Congressionally approved funds - good thing he never would do that again.
To Ukraine no less! And for the purpose of more corruption of the electoral process.
Oh ita a good thing he never did that again, like, a really good thing.
their goal was to overthrow the rule of law
that's like literally an insurrection
No it was not. It was an insurrection you're literally ignoring the definition and reality if you say otherwise.
Bringing in John Brown just shows your ass. John Brown incited a slave revolution with the goal of a full overthrow of government, an insurrection. He too held an insurrection. But your comparison to the two falls flat as John Brown was absolutely right to overthrow a corrupt slave owning government. Donald Trump attempted to overthrow a legit democracy that while you can criticize does not hold the same evil as the government John Brown faced
Horseshoe theory, insurrection isn't a blanket evil. Donald Trump's goals are selfish and harmful towards the masses, evil. John Brown's was goodhearted, righteous and true, good.
So you think attempting to deliver fake electors to the capitol building to declare the loser of the election the winner to not be an insurrection? Because that's what happened on January 6th. The crowds, rioting, guns, zip ties, threats and pipe bombs were all just extra
