A protest to demand that Congress overturn the results of a democratic election sounds like that to me.
Quote:and nothing rose up we did not birth a movement nor another nation.Of course nothing rose up and you didn't birth a movement, because it was the failed continuation of a pre-existing movement, whether the alt-right, the MAGA movement, the Stop the Steal movement or WHAT HAVE YOU!* It has many names, but, in practice, there's no real difference between any of them.
Quote:the [/size]government[size=large] did not employ the army/force to disburse the protesters. monday came and everyone went home.Yeah, because, since Washington DC is not a state, they don't have a governor who can send out the National Guard. That would depend on the Department of Defense, who'd need authorisation from the President, who flat-out refused to do so for several hours. They went home at the end of the day, and the only reason was because someone ended up forcing Trump to make a statement telling them to do so. And I suspect that was probably the only reason they ended up going peacefully, especially since several rioters actually outright stated they believed they were following Trump's orders, even during the event.
Quote:you confusing this with the chaz movement/freedom zoneThat may also count as an uprising, but given that the Capitol Hill neighbourhood in Seattle isn't the same as the actual Capitol in DC, they're clearly different things.
