Sick of this word choice.

Traitors didn't "storm" the Capitol on 6 January. They defiled it.

Storming is reserved for, let's see, the First and 29th Infantry Divisions at Omaha Beach or the 4th Infantry at Utah. Or any of the Marine Divisions that fought across the Central Pacific. These soldiers and marines stormed to save democracy from fascism, not promote it.

Media. Do better.

They were done in the name of freedom. So, arguably, was the "storming" of the Bastille....which, IIRC, was a PRISON, and not the seat of the country's government.

So no, it is NOT "word Police" at all...unless you are a righty in disguise.
