A demonstration that got out of hand, not an insurrection!

Dov Fischer writes,
Insurrection was not on the mind of anyone serious at the Capitol on January 6. It was a very large demonstration aimed at protesting the way an election was conducted. No matter what anyone thinks of the November 2020 election, there was something wrong with states changing their election laws months, even weeks before balloting. In addition, social media monopolies suppressed the news of the Hunter Biden laptop, which would have been a game changer.
In truth, this canard of “insurrection” does grave damage to the country. Democracy is not in danger from Republican conservatives nor populists. We just want to be left alone, to enjoy this greatest of all countries, to keep the lies of “systemic racism” and “critical race theory” out of our kids’ and grandkids’ schools, to keep the police maximally funded and reinforced, to control inflation as in the Trump days, and to be spared from having to pay reparations to people whom we did not harm. Instead, by fostering the Big Lie of “January 6 Insurrection,” Pelosi inserts the idea of insurrection into the American psyche and arena. She takes the unspoken — the Verboten, the Taboo — and she gets Americans of different stripes thinking: “Hmmm. An insurrection? Hmmm.”
This is terrible. We must get rid of her in November 2022. The old-fashioned American way: at the ballot box.
