Irrelevant. You are looking for an absolutist position in the matter when all you need is a relative position, such as when Dems leave the state to stop the legislature, or the teacher’s union protest at the Wisconsin capitol, or the protest and rioting at Trump’s inauguration, or (the list is endless). sometimes I wonder if you have a brain.

Don’t we have a board for that? I think it’s called Safire the Cannon.
Okay I play. Coup can be political or military. An insurrection requires a military or armed force of some kind.
Definitions are useless without context. That’s my point.
That you couch your argument on definitions, e.g., “Webster defines an insurrection as "an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government." Definitions are a useless construct in a political debate.
I think when you publicly pressure your VP and fire up your goons to go change his mind you’re flirting with these things. Mother scratcher should have read Washington’s address back in November and the gop would still have the senate.
What’s the definition of racist in context of politics?
Define racist.
To prove the utility of definitions in a political context.
Define revolt.
I think beating the Capitol police with US flags, trying to impale them with fencing materials, etc. would meet the standard.
So they were revolting against the capitol police (civil authority) and not the government?
I thought you were smarter than that. The civil authority was protecting the government that was being assaulted. But, you knew that. checks notes. [am I doing the cool trick right?]
