The thing is I never said it did. But you and at @C-south are trying to excuse/deflect from one by referencing the other. Why else bring it up? Why not just say "yeah that was bad?"
You're either excusing all of them or justifying/deflecting from one by pointing at the other.Parents learned a long time ago that there has to be consistency in treating behavior. When you start the slide down the slippery slope, you are changing expectations and the norms of acceptable behavior. We've watched riots and extreme demonstrations for years, and last summer without real intervention or any obvious attempt to end violent behavior pretty much normalized it. If that's the norm, then the WH demonstrators were within tolerances. If it's not the norm, then governments should have ended the violence of the preceding years - particularly last summer. Cavemen probably understood it.
The fringe of the right only showed up at the capital and basically walked between the velvet ropes and the cops ended up killing one of them. Sure they broke some glass and were waving rebel flags and there was a guillotine amongst the crowd. Fine. Those are the facts.
But now compare that to WTF happened in the summer of 2020 and it is no comparison. Both are bad, but the levels of debauchery are not close to the same.

So if you look at the bottom line of all the things yall have been talking about, i think most of us on here are amazed that you could possibly vote democrat. You acknowledged all the things that are diving us crazy and are killing the country, yet you could vote for that. We don't understand. The ONLY possible 'reason' for voting /supporting the left is an irrationzl hated of Trump. Nothing else makes any sense.You're either excusing all of them or justifying/deflecting from one by pointing at the other.
I guess its just as irrational as ranting about Bidens reckless spending and looking the other way on Trump's spending or making excuses for his rioters.So if you look at the bottom line of all the things yall have been talking about, i think most of us on here are amazed that you could possibly vote democrat.

One event vs a summer of chaos. Yes, they both were wrong. And yes, the summer of chaos was on a scale far worse than Jan. 6th.So basically you just want to defend/make excuses for the Capitol rioters by saying, "oh yeah well somebody else did something worse."
Edit: I bet this guy thinks they basically walked between the velvet ropes.

Both can be true. Both are true.
Yes, that is possible. And for good reason. One event vs a summer of riots...It can also be true that everytime the Capitol riot gets mentioned, people try to deflect attention from it, minimize it, or justify it by saying, "but those other riots were worse."
