You're missing my point. I don't condone the events of Jan 6th.
My response was solely to the statement that we should never be allowed to overthrow the government. The people of every nation should be allowed to do so, for that's how the people can be in control of their lives.
I imagine most here will disagree...until someone they abhor is in office.
And I think you're missing my point as well. The event that happened, the event I'm saying should not happen again, was not a legitimate attempt at revolution. It was the losing side attacking the functioning of democracy because they didn't like the outcome of the election.
I don't think the losing side should get to ransack the Capitol every four years because they spread some half-baked rumors and convinced themselves the election was rigged.
We have independent judges, including lots appointed by Trump. If the losing side couldn't convince those judges the election was wrongly decided, they are to wait four years to try again, just like every losing side before them.
The nation is not a playground for toddlers to throw a violent temper tantrum based on make believe when things don't do their way.
Except our constitution essentially codifies it as a founding principal. That is, after all, how we started.
So, no, it shouldn't be forbidden. It should be avoided.
