 Why Democrats Will Never Stop Talking About ‘Insurrection’

The false narrative branding the GOP as the party of sedition will, if it succeeds, be a 21st century ‘bloody shirt’ that will determine the future of American politics.

By Jonathan S. Tobin
February 3, 2021

The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump will begin next week. But there’s more at stake in the proceedings than Trump’s legacy.

The overwhelming majority of Republicans are determined to resist impeachment regardless of their personal feelings about Trump. Perhaps some still think a conviction would be worth it if it would definitively end his political career. But even they may understand that it would be political malpractice and a breach of faith with their voters to join with the Democrats seeking Trump’s scalp.

But Trump’s future is not what is really at stake in the debate about the events of Jan. 6. As disgraceful and criminal as the behavior of the mob was that day and as troubling as Trump’s mistakes were, the point of impeachment isn’t about punishing him or even whether it would be legally possible for him to run again for president in 2024. It is the future of the entire Republican Party that is currently up for grabs.

As their choice of language, the broad scope of their accusations, and the measures beyond impeachment that they are considering as a response indicate, Democrats have more ambitious goals than further shaming or disqualifying Trump from a future presidential run. The rhetorical inflation of a dangerous riot by a mob to a full-blown “insurrection” is more than political hyperbole.

By retroactively transforming the riot at the Capitol into an armed rebellion conducted by white supremacists and then linking it to not just Trump but to everyone who attended his Jan. 6 rally, supported his questioning of the 2020 election results or even those who voted for him, the goal to the exercise is more far-reaching than most GOP officeholders still seem to understand.

Just another lying smear by leftists who always accuse their opposition of what they are guilty of.  It's in their Marxist playbook.

As a general rule, any time Democrats accuse Republicans of wrongdoing, it is because they are already doing it themselves.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

What I can't seem to grasp the reality of.... is why the hell the entire GOP isn't standing up FOR Trump and against the commie left Democrats.   It is very 'telling', isn't it (Uniparty... except at fundraising/campaign time).

Which is why millions of American patriots are silently telling the GOP ....GFY.   Just like they have told Faux News, Fakebook, TwitsRUs and Amazon.

Why does our side always acquiesce to the socialist narrative?  Even a defense of the President must include  pointing-up this bullshit.

"As disgraceful and criminal as the behavior of the mob was" ---- as compared to WHAT?    December 16, 1773?  April 19, 1775, Jan 20, 2017?  Sep 4-8, 2018?  Portland 2019?  Seattle 2019?  Washington, DC 2019?  Give me the date that pales in comparison to Jan 6, 2021.

"and as troubling as Trump's mistakes were" --- Bullshit.  Give me the troubling statement and why it's more disturbing than those from:  Chuck Schumer.  Maxine Waters.  Nancy Pelosi.  Barack Obama.  Eric Holder.  Ayanna Pressley.  Kamala Harris.

I am so sick and tired of this bullshit.

What makes you think they're on "our side"?

That is true.  It is the "Democrats" who committed the ACTUAL insurrection -
by fabricating MILLIONS of fake ballots
they ILLEGITIMATELY seized power!

But the original post is leading to an additional point -
they are trying to establish the precedent that
ANY questioning of their commands is an "insurrection!"

And therefore must be crushed with unlimited force!

And yet.... the lying, treasonous hypocrites questioned Trump's presidency for four frickin years... and even persecuted him with impeachment and constant false/hoax accusations.   It's unreal.

Re the title "question", they will stop when their lie is rammed down their throats and yanked out the other end. Metaphorically, of course. TBR doesn't do threats of violence.
