You know quite well that that is not the definition of "militia" that
John was using, and feigning ignorance on this is lying.
Accusing him thusly by swapping in a different definition of his words
seems to be bordering on a personal attack against John.

Perhaps you have forgotten, but the intent of the actions on that day
was to have Trump declared by Congress to have been the winner of the
election, in spite of the electors (by having the Republicans reject
enough of the electors who voted for Biden). No military involvement
would have been necessary, and the certification of Trump's reelection
would have happened before January 20th.
