The reason Trump calls the protestors "insurrectionists"?

That somehow it cleanses him from his traitorous act of January 6, 2021.

Because if they are "insurrectionists", then the government must be on the right side? If the government is on the right side that time, then they must be on the right side this time? He knows he led the insurrectionists against the transfer of power, because he wanted to stay in office.

He can't seem to shake the word "insurrectionists" from his vocabulary?

Except they're waving the flag of the United Mexican States.

...it is their friends and loved ones that are being "disappeared". They do not have the distance that most of us do, in my opinion.

Since we shouldn't be doing this to anybody, it seems those protesting this unconstitutional activity actually are patriots.

his insurrectionists were encouraged to travel to the nation’s capital and invade the seat of the federal government in an effort to stop the electoral process.

Whereas in LA, it’s the federal government that is invading people’s neighborhoods and homes, and kidnapping people where they live.

Those protestors on the streets of L.A. are not insurrectionists regardless of how loud the Felon and his administration try to shout it and try to fool Americans into believing it!

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case.
We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.
