Huh? How are you reading that in my comment? I explicitly think that throwing Congress in jail would be silly, and actually unjust. But I didn't at all address that.

I was merely pointing out that the US's "government for the people by the people" was laughably not at all that back when it was founded. "The people" didn't give the government abc powers; a single-digit percentage of them did.

Beyond that, suggesting that an armed insurrection could ever be successful at deposing the US government... that's a silly fantasy.
