I felt a Schoolhouse Rock song was needed to explain what Seditious Insurrection was.
Seditious Insurrection – a Schoolhouse Rock Song
Mike Delaney, FAWM22-2
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
Lapping up/Making up lies and storming the Capitol
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
If only the VP had done the right thing
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
We would still have dear leader and declared him our king
[spoken] "Sedition":
That’s conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the state.
"Insurrection":
That's a violent uprising against an authority or government.
And then there's "Conspiracy":
That’s a (secret) plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
[sung] Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
Storming Congress with intimidation
Blame Antifa. They were tourists. Crisis actors.
Maybe other factors.
It was a peaceful protest.
They were exercising their free speech.
It was against cannibalistic pedophiles.
Just smile! Just smile!
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
We’ve got fake electors that can get the job done
It was a stolen election, say something like this:
"Jewish Space Lasers"
Or this one:
"It was Hugo Chavez"
Or what Q-Anon said
It’s the Deep State, FBI operatives,
Incited by the White House speech
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
Cooking up conspiracies that are truly frightening, like:
The vaccine puts a tracking chip in your arm
Ivermectin and chloroquine won’t do you any harm
Fauci knows that masks are fake
The virus was released from a lab by the Deep State
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
Racist rhetoric used to support wacko causes
Make it sound real complex, like:
[spoken] The election was stolen, dead people voted in vast numbers, using fake bamboo ballots from China, and election machines from Venezuela, to destroy Republican ballots in ditches, and they got to Pence and convinced him he couldn’t throw out state’s electors, even though he could, so that’s why they are trying to change the electoral college law, and we had to rescue the babies before they were eaten, using fake electors, although I know these are absurd thoughts.
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
One last chance to sow dysfunction
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
Trying to gum things up in court cases
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
If we’re convicted, he will give us a pardon
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
We’re backing the efforts of Sidney Powell and Giuliani
Seditious Insurrection, overturning an election
And most of all, you need an all-white complexion

So creative, and wonderfully implemented. (And oof -- that very last line . . .)

Brilliant use of the "Conjunction Junction" format. It lays out a lot of important points while being consistently entertaining. Glad to have found your stuff!
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
