mellowtiggerI called it a coup. Up until now, legal investigations have called it merely insurrection. Finally, there's a case that calls it sedition. Of course it involves Texas and ties to "grassroots groups supportive of former President Donald Trump".
Here's a helpful guide to the difference between the terms.
We're just one step away from finally and officially calling it a failed coup. Once sedition is tried in court and presumably found in favor for the prosecutors, then it makes legal sense to identify the leader of said sedition. I think that stochastic terrorism (the indirect hand of a leader) would be very hard to identify in court without prior precedent for sedition itself.
