Actually sorry for the triple post but id amend my previous statement to recognize that yes, the fact that the siege of the capitol happened as a direct result of a sitting president peddling objectively false bullshit because of a fragile ego is pretty bad. I stand by my broader point though.

We've had worse uprisings caused by police brutality over the last century. Because that's an actual problem that's been getting people killed and incarcerated since the Wilson admin at least. When the frustration builds to a certain level, it's just what happens. And largely peaceful protests were occurring all over the country at the same time as well.

Compare that to a fascist uprising based entirely on a lie. It doesn't take a grand conspiracy to see why the reaction was different. Just look at what would have happened if each group had gotten its way. One wanted an end to police brutality and racism. The other wanted a President who lost an election to rule for life. No comparison.
