Final ceremonial certification of the pres election. Something which never happened before in our history. It wasn’t 9/11 or 12/7, it was 1/6. Whether you like it or not in your continuing inability to fully quit Trumpistan, it’s called an “insurrection” because a violent assault on Congress is called “insurrection” in English. It’s called a coup attempt because it was the culmination of a months long effort to prevent Trump’s exit due to his electoral loss, and when dozens of cases in court failed, rather than accepting the loss, even grudgingly as many losing candidates have in the past, he became the first to never concede and continued his efforts to overturn an election which had been scrutinized and litigated unlike any other. The dictionary definition of a coup attempt.

Sorry that reality makes you squirm, but like abortion rights, Trumpistan should probably examine how it’s endless efforts at denial contribute to its election results underperforming polling consistently for the last few years.
