Was January 6th a revolution?

[Schiff for Senate]

A revolution towards authoritarianism and dictatorship, yes. A revolution meant to overturn the government - to overturn American democracy - and replace it with a fascist dictatorship? Sure. As Ferguson said quite accurately, not all revolutions are good things (though Big Abe may disagree). If we're saying it in the sense that a revolution is necessarily a good thing, and that this was a revolution that was a force of good, then absolutely not, it was not a revolution. And honestly, even otherwise, calling it a revolution (a terrible one), is probably a stretch. The attackers were incoherent rioters and buffoons with no actual coordinated plan. Aside from vandalising Congress and making a mess of the place, they didn't achieve anything (really, they were like infants - they were utterly incoherent and unintelligent, and they just made a mess all over the place, broke things and spread feces).
