It was pretty fun to own my sister's left wing friend when talking about #Jan6 when I explained to her that the definition of the word "insurrection" in the dictionary has changed to encompass what happened on #Jan6 even though most people don't use the word in that way.

She was saying that insurrection just means political violence protesting a government, and I was saying that it's usually about toppling a government.

I pulled the #MiriamWebster dictionary definition from today, and it supported her view, but when I pulled the definition from ten years ago, it supported my view.
