Apparently peaceful protests over racism is the same thing as literally trying to kill politicians and to literally destroy whats left of democracy to install the loser as president.

There is a difference between peaceful civil unrest over police brutality with the occasional riot thrown in, and a specific event with the sole intention of overthrowing a fair election and harming elected officials because you are mad at the results.

Are you going to argue that the Civil Rights Movement was no different than football hooliganism too? Becuase both had some people causing property damage?

First of all the way youre both using peaceful in these statements completely and utterly robs the word of its meaning. You could replace the word peaceful with the word bookshelf and these statements would hold the same level of factual accuracy.

Second, again, we spent 4 years watching a large chunk of the left leaning population drag the entire nation into bookshelf civil unrest because they refused to honor - i.e. wanted to overturn - the 2016 election results. I refuse to be gaslit on this point. I was alive, I was there, I have functioning eyes and ears.

To any and all points about the bookshelf civil unrest being in the name of the greater righteousness of ending racism and police brutality: I saw footage of a group of people beating the shit out of a defenseless old man and cracking his head open with a fucking brick because he was holding an American flag. Those people, inside their confused minds, were absolutely convinced of their own righteousness. They believed themselves to be on the front lines in the fight against racism, fascism, tyranny, whatever. I dont give one single fuck about what someone says they are, if theyre on the side of violence, intimidation, or making excuses for same and refusing to address it plainly for what it is, those people are not the good guys. And im sorry to say, if you want to maintain this mentality of protect the narrative at all costs, then you are not the good guys either, sorry. i yield my time.
