protesting while staying between the purple ropes definitely qualifies.

It takes a special kind of brainwashed useful idiot to politically defend government fraud, waste, and abuse.

I'd say the operation conducted by the Obama administration FBI/DOJ to overturn the 2016 election and later attempt to oust Trump as POTUS is the best example.

I would not trust any online dictionary. They will modify the definition to match the leftist narrative.

From Webster's New 20th Century unabridged second edition (c) 1960:
Quote:

a rising against governmental or political authority; rebellion; revolt

Syn, -- rebellion, revolt.-- sedition is the raising of commotion in a state without aiming at open violence against the laws; insurrection is a rising up of individuals to prevent the execution of law, by a force of arms; revolt is a casting off of the authority of a government with a view to put it down by force; rebellion is organized, armed, open resistance to the authority or government in power.

By those broad definitions, any leftist marxist is always active engaged in praxis to bring about the collapse of the government as an existing institution so they can replace it. They literally talk about it all the time, allegedly "hypothetically" even as they feed the ideology to millions of idiots doing their part to bring it about.

If what happened on January 6th is an insurrection then what do we call the national black lives organization and their riots, burning, etc. It certainly is more organized than what happened on the 6th.

I will go further for what is happening at the justice dept., their FBI, the state dept, etc. is equivalent to a coup. What happened to Trump with the Russian hoax is a coup. Until those bums go to jail I will always maintain that the 2020 election was a fraud due to the mail in ballots and ballot harvesting.
