Was clearly a riot. But calling it an "insurrection" is very much calling a deer a horse.

I must laugh at the people who think that at any point it actually threatened the workings of government. Average citizen is too Hollywood brained. They probably think that if the "insurrectionists" somehow manage to grab the magic gavel of Congress they can use it to summon the founding fathers and enact whatever legislation you want.

I mean there was literally some guy in a Buffalo hat chanting nonsense. You can't fight the government with magic spells and incantations. It's like when the British burned down the white house in 1812. Nobody gave a fuck. Oh no a building burned down! The source to the presidents divine power is severed. Lol.
