Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss is a columnist at MSNBC and has been published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, The Atlantic, and more. This is because she comes up with hot takes like this one:
.@milleridriss: We should expect more 'nationwide insurrections' like the Ottawa trucker protests for years to come. https://t.co/L3g7DSMoTr
— MSNBC Daily (@MSNBCDaily) February 9, 2022
She writes:
Like the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the trucker protests show how anti-government anger has the power to rapidly draw together individuals and ignite the fringe with the mainstream. What’s happening in Ottawa reflects the same kind of lowest common denominator mobilization that brought groups across the conservative and far-right spectrum together to try to stop the U.S. presidential election vote count. In these situations, groups that are normally not ideologically aligned — conspiracy theorists, unlawful militias, anti-vaccine advocates, white supremacist extremists, anti-government extremists and others — join forces with more ordinary voters and protesters in potentially combustive and dangerous ways.
Frankly, we would have been disappointed if she had neglected to mention 1) January 6 and 2) white supremacy. “Around the world,” she writes, “far-right activists are watching what’s happening in Canada with fantasies of similar resistance in their own countries.”

You people got a word-a-day calendar and haven't updated it since January 6th, where you used it wrong even then.

I didn't realize there were so many people who don't know what an insurrection is.

So it's an "insurrection" now? Ok then.

You guys really don’t understand what the word “insurrection” means, do you?

Way to dilute the meaning of the word “insurrection”.

So, let me get this straight. Burning down buildings is peaceful protest, but honking horns is violence? Is that really the level of cognitive dissonance we're dealing with here?

What are you calling the riots and looting all summer?

Fiery but “mostly peaceful” protests.

Never saw an insurrection with bouncy castles before.

Didn't they have bouncy houses? My god the horror

Remember, kids – any protest that falls outside of approved corporate media narratives is now "insurrection", "sedition" and, hell, even "treason" now.
If you wonder why nearly your entire audience fled in the past decade, it's for nonsense like this, @MSNBCDaily

According to the raging lunatics at MSNBC:
Left wing violence = speech
Right wing speech = violence

Good. The left have been protesting and outright rioting for years. You guys thought you were the only ones allowed to do so? Welcome to equality.
