For John, BLUF: My Middle Brother, Lance, lives out on the Coast, at the bottom of the Peninsula that contains San Francisco. And he fits right in. Nothing to see here; just move along.
My Middle Brother, a Progressive Democrat of the first order, and a life-long debater (we had the same Debate Teacher in high School, M Gilliam) continues to needle me about the events of 6 January 2020.
As to the idea that 6 January was an “Insurrection,” it is an idea that is ludicrous. If you are going to stage an insurrection, a coup, you seize the communications points, you have people with weapons; a fair number of weapons. This was a demonstration that turned into a riot. A common day occurrence in Portland or Seattle in 2020. It wasn’t as organized as the CHOP (CHAZ) event in Seattle.
It is your right to claim it as an insurrection, but it makes you sound like San Fran Nan and Joseph Robinette Biden, and just as senile.
On the other hnd, the current efforts to remove Citizen Donald J Trump from the 2024 Presidential Ballot, Primary or General, does seem like an effort to subvert our democratic system. Does this show a lack of consistency? Not that I am suggesting my Brother lacks consistency on this issue.
Regards — Cliff
