TL;DR Summary
Republicans have been misusing the term "insurrection" to describe a range of activities, even when there has been no violence. This trend reflects conservative grievances over condemnation of the Jan. 6 attack as well as resentment at the perceived persecution of right-wing causes and organizations. Experts say the comparison is misguided and inaccurate. The comments fit an evolving pattern of Republicans accusing Democrats of "insurrection" even when the label doesn't apply.
