The distinction of treason and insurrection is domestic vs foreign. It’s a legal distinction. And it’s a distinction I don’t care about. And you’re not going to convince me that it’s morally wrong to see them as equal in terms of a threat to our country.
I’m not writing a textbook. If I was, I’d say “insurrection.” Sure.
To me personally they’re the same in pile of shit. And they belong in the same prison.
Im sure you feel the same for the whole CHAZ/CHOP thing. They took over several blocks of the city and claimed to independence of the united states... taking over federal land and claiming independence by force is textbook insurrection and borderline treason.
I am with you here that they belong in prison, but not dead. That is all.
