The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Rephrasing: No, one can agree that it was a protest gone bad - turning into a riot - in an even more clear-eyed and neutral way. The emotional response is the "insurrection", "traitor" and other stuff.


You're part way there. You need to include all of the scheming from the President, his advisors and out and down. To use your words, the "riot" was a cover to stopping the electoral count, which may have resulted in Pence changing his mind, or in the election being thrown into the House. don't limit your view to just the "riot" as you seem to be doing.

Just consider that every time someone says insurrection they mean insurrectionist elements, which may be may be 3 dozen - we don't know right now. So a reasonable person could conclude that there were rioters and insurrectionists there with varying degrees of culpability. You need to include all of the scheme(s) to get a better overall picture.
