@freakazoid @Digital_Eclipse Your rendition leaves out that the American Revolutionists had no other recourse: no vote, no representation, no audience. The Jan 6 participants had all of the above and chose violence over democratic activism. They were not disenfranchised. They represented the current power structure. They simply didn’t like that they were overruled, in the majority, by their peers. Thus, they were and are both terrorists and insurrectionists.
