>an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

Which protest does not meet that criteria?



Most? You can protest against a government while still acknowledging its legitimacy.


Requiring an acknowledgement of a government's legitimacy seems like a bad thing. Ultimately I think "insurrection" is just being thrown around far too freely.


I don't think the truckers are trying to say that the government is illegitimate though? They are saying the mandate laws are illegitimate.
