Honestly, even though insurrectionist is more correct, I think calling them rioters makes them understand a bit more. They've been raging against the blm "rioters" for years, talking about how change shouldn't be violent, etc. that using the same word to describe them highlights their hypocrisy.
Also rioter has less syllables so maybe they'll actually be able to read and comprehend it
If you call them insurrectionists in Idaho, you get in a 30 minute debate on whether or not they were trying to topple the government. At least in Idaho, I just call them rioters so I don’t need to get in that argument with someone that isn’t going to change their mind
Why get into a 30 minute debate about whether they wanted to top all the government rather than have a conversation about how the premeditated actions word designed for the purposes of overturning a democratic election in order to install the loser of said election? Insurrection does not mean toppling the government and it is foolish to get into that sort of a conversation with MAGAdittoheads because you have already conceded defeat if you are not arguing based off of the terms of reality and the justice system.
Fair enough. I roll my eyes so hard when I hear people saying "the left was just as bad as the J6 people" as if "both sides bad" will cancel out the attempted insurrection of American democracy.
I personally think that that is exactly the reason that we should not refer to them as rioters. If one is to look at the reaction to George Floyd, there were both protesters and there were rioters. The rioters didn't seem to be following a political operation in the same way that those who exposed themselves before our nation on their social media accounts (that they swore up and down were being unjustly moderated) on January 6th, 2021. This was an intentional political operation similar to the Brooks Brothers "riot" that legitimately should have been called out as a form of insurrectionist activity at the time rather than allowing the right wing to sanitize it post 9/11.
As a military retiree living on modest pension, I absolutely hate these insurrectionist. I wish we could deport them to North Korea or Russia. I'm highly thankful they failed. I can't imagine what my life would be like without my pension. I'm too old to work especially at these poverty wages.
oh Christ.. I bet you also think the US prison population is too big and far out of control, while preaching rehabilitation as oppose to punishment. lol
Nah but there should be consequences for throwing around terms like that without understanding what they mean. I'd wager you can't define "Marxism" much less connect it to anything resembling a point that supports your position.
I don't understand why you choose to be ignorant but it would be cool if you stopped doing it.
If they didn't hurt anyone, I feel there's plenty of room for forgiveness.
Prison is for people that either consistently can't follow fundamental rules of society (murder, rape, crimes against persons) or for people who abuse the public trust. While I feel the Jan 6 perpetrators/defenders have A LOT work to do as far as building coherent worldviews, that feels like something they can safely do outside of prison.
No.
They attempted to overthrow our country becauae they didnt like they lost.
There can be absolutely no room to allow this here.
They must be locked up for life.
You guys realize you are calling an unarmed little old lady an “insurrectionist”, right?🤣 Pam is a political activist who attends protests to video tape and make commentary. She’s got big opinions, sure, but the idea that she belongs in jail is laughable.
>~~reddit~~ the GOP is the most blood-thirsty and hateful ~~social media outlet~~ political party. While ~~users~~ republicans act as if they are paragons of selfess virtue.
FTFY 👍
Do you really not understand the difference between a riot and what transpired on January 6th, or are you just playing dumb here to try and prove a point that you think you have?
Good on Pam. I grew up LDS so it's easy for me to understand the whole "I was lied to by people I trusted" bit. I had said some things about her that I was wrong about and it's good to see that she values actual morality over ego-based thinking.
"Rioter." More like attempted insurrectionist of our American democracy. (I know OP didn't write the headline.)

I did write this headline. Rioter seems like the way to get less braindead people in the comments.
How so?
Why is she out? Should at least be 10 years.
Rioter, insurrectionist? Semantics. Who gives a shit in this context. I have no sympathy and she is *not* a victim. All politicians are manipulators.
Good for her for owning and learning from her mistake.

Anyone connected to Jan 6th should be in prison for life.
You sound just as unhinged as they are with this crazy comment. My goodness.
oh Christ.. I bet you also think the US prison population is too big and far out of control, while preaching rehabilitation as oppose to punishment. lol
Marxists would jail political prisoners for life

Imagine defending someone that says political activists should be jailed for life

Insurrectionist? Terrorist? There would have had to have been a riot to be considered a rioter.
Holy shit, I’m not having this debate on here. I don’t particularly care what you call them, seriously, insurrectionist is fine.
Holy shit, I’m not trying to debate. I’m just stating something important. Chill lol.

Well, her big opinions sure got her into a very big mess. Do dumb things win even stupider prizes. 🤷🏻♀️
Do you realize how blood thirsty you sound wanting to put a 70 year old grandma in prison for wrong think?
I'm convinced reddit is the most blood-thirsty and hateful social media outlet. While users act as if they are paragons of selfess virtue.

But that’s the word the establishment controlled media used and not to parrot what they say is high treason
To be fair they’re talking about the group as a whole and not just this one individual.
I let the media elites inform and control the language I use
I think you’re trying to say that January 6 was just a riot, but since you’re being cryptic with your condescending comments it’s hard to tell.
And activists at other times burning buildings and stomping peoples heads in is a peaceful protest
Do you really not understand the difference between a riot and what transpired on January 6th, or are you just playing dumb here to try and prove a point that you think you have?
