Insurrection is not new.  Both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars were started by Insurrectionists...indeed some of the Revolutionary insurrectionist went on to B presidents.

True.  But these were actual real life events and causes.  Throwing off British control and fighting to preserve slavery.

The difference here is that January 6th was all based on a lie.

Many Brits thought the Revolutionary insurrectionists reasons for war were lies also...

January sixth was a failed coup attempt by Donald Trump. He was disappointed that he couldn't pull it off. His followers were disappointed that he didn't come down to the capitol like he said he would.

Just like the Taliban had spies in the US military, Trump has spies in the capitol police.

That 'the Donald' didn't march to the capitol as he said he would is proof positive of what a bully he actually is.

I consider him a charlatan who bamboozled a lot of people.

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

Little did Carl Sagan know his quote would be about Donald Trump.
