That slogan only counts when they're not breaking the law, then they're making things right.
The sad part is the second part could be taken from freedom fighters under a repressive regime and be thought of as a good fight, not that I think this is comparable but I'm sure people that are getting prison sentences and many of their friends do. It'd be nice if they at least had a coherent argument backed up by facts but I haven't seen much so far. Just parroting talking points by right wing shills out to make a buck.
I mean I think the play was to justify it after the fact.
"We were fighting for America" is what they told themselves.
And had they won, and had they dragged all of the senators and Congresspeople out onto the public square and executed them and forcibly shoved Trump back into office they would have told themselves that they did a good thing and made sure they had a nice juicy write up in the history books for their successful coup and "the protection of the American way of life".
I think it can show that everyone needs critical thinking skills, which unfortunately is what some don't want as opposed to blind followers. Like you can pull one lever (religion, race, etc) it means every action is justified.
