    In both Spain and the USA the Right's response was the same: an executive "autogolpe." That's what Insurrection Day (1/6/21) was about.

    C'mon man, don't play into that "insurrection" bullshit. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes truth. That was hardly an "insurrection". It was a protest that took an ill-advised turn; not condoning it, but couldn't be further from an actual "insurrection".

    Now a riot? Oh it absolutely became a riot once that line was crossed. If you applied the Left's logic (and I use that term very loosely) then we had an "insurrection" all summer long. But we know that's not how it was/will be portrayed.

    January 6, 2021 was much more in line with Trotskyist factions, if we are drawing Spanish parallels. Both have the hallmarks of useful idiots. Are you one of those?

    I expect there are enough folks on M4C that understand the weak pedantic nature of this Spanish Civil War parallelism.
    Antony Beevor’s Spanish Civil War is certainly readable and might help you get some perspective.
    And pray tell what was November 3rd? More of a Stalinist faction? i.e. "He who counts the votes" type of thing?

    Right or wrong, November 3rd led to January 6th. I don't think there is a parallel in Spanish history.

    A protest occurs where people want to be heard. If it devolves into violence, it could properly be called a riot.

    But when the executive assembles a group, and directs them towards a legislature that is counting the votes in an election he has lost, and exhorts them to stop said counting, that's an insurrection. More precisely, it's an executive coup; Spanish speakers call it an "autogolpe."

    Now that is buying hook, line, and sinker into the Left's narrative. That's NOT what Trump said.

    I even linked to the report itself. It is long, but a good read. The way that modern societies collapse etc...is not an unknown- we have many examples if people will only take the time to do a little research. When you do, the parallels are scary. Does that mean it MUST happen and in Exactly the same way? Absolutely not. But, it shows you that it certainly can and has happened.

    I'd much rather be the masses caught in the middle and murdered with impunity by the warring factions. That makes sense.

    Sometimes, you HAVE TO CHOOSE and neither side wears the Roy Rogers White Hat.

    You realize who you are talking to right? He's the forum dunce on all things technical because it goes right over his head.

    lol

    If it was an "insurrection" like you claim, there'd be a lot of special Congressional elections happening soon.

    As well as someone asking for money to rebuild Washington.

    Now, I know you like to be the troll that posts up the stupid shit of the left, but really...
    Experience is a cruel teacher, gives the exam first and then the lesson.
