    Right after Jan 6, I started posting how important it was to not refer to the incident as a ”riot," or a “coup,” or anything other than an “Insurrection.” That’s the word used in the 14th Amendment, Section 3, which prohibits those participating in an Insurrection from holding elected office. It was important then to characterize it as an Insurrection (which it was) then, and it’s important now.
