What are we going to label those who participated, abetted, approved January 6? Domestic terrorists

 We have had a contest in our family to label those who are supporters of QAnon and those who aided. approved, conspired, and abetted the Jan 6 insurrection. The rules of the game: something that is printable in public media and descriptive and even embraced by their fellow travelers and party critics. The GOP has called a group of four women of color with left ideologies, the Squad. and tried to paint the entire Democratic party with them. We know what they mean. This contest could come up with a label that applies to those in and out of Congress. Off-limits are fascists (racists and anti-democracy, pro-dictatorships) or even Joe Scarborough's Trump Terrorists. Those are deserved slams, but unnecessarily inflammatory for a variety of reasons. My nomination: SIXXERS . (ok, I can see some spins on this one, too, like six- crazed and they should be deep sixxed). One family member came up with the Cell., a secret group of far right extremists and domestic terrorists.
