Charles Glasser, posting what he calls “a rant” at Instapundit, encapsulating his thinking about the Jan. 6 unpleasantness at the U.S. Capitol.
Anyone who uses the word “insurrection” describing the idiocy of Jan. 6 has no idea what they are talking about. Was it a riot? Yep. Were many of the particpants dopes? Yep.But read how John Adams, Robespierre, Lenin, Mao and Castro pulled off genuine “revolutions” and you’ll see that mobbing a capitol building isn’t even close. You need to control central information and transportation hubs, get the army to back you, and bring weapons.None of that happened on J6. If you use the word “insurrection” to describe J6: You have zero credibility.
As longtime readers know, COTTonLINE has described Jan. 6 in similar terms. But because the Jan. 6 hyperbole won’t go away, it is worth repeating, which Glasser does well.
