Five years ago, the media launched a campaign to define conservatives as "racists and white supremacists." Five days ago, they changed the terms to "seditionists and domestic terrorists." The first is to dehumanize the opposition; the second is to justify their repression.

Chris, this really reads as disingenuous. Some of them are seditious and literally just beat a police officer to death. Come on now.

Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufoReplying to @sheemawn @KatyaSedgwickI don't think sedition or coup is accurate language. The QAnon Shaman wasn't trying to overthrow the government and install himself as the new potentate. I think political riot, even political violence, is more accurate and the instigators should be held accountable for it.5 replies 5 retweets 82 likes -

It was definitely an attempted coup. This is a semantics game. They made the same fundamental arguments as some members of blm and there is footage of folks explicitly talking about a revolution.

And, um, again, many of them violently murdered a police officer.

I agree that the actions taken re Parler are an overreaction but that overreaction is informed by an attempted coup that just took place in the capital.

I trust it will not. I respect Chloe and do not take disagreement personally.
