I'm perfectly willing to admit the truth, which is that some Democrats were not strong enough in condemning those destructive protests. Some were providing a rhetorical shield for them. But we'll have to deal with it line by line, because I think Democratic leadership, for the most part, were responsible in their rhetoric. And they didn't cause it.
But it's undeniably true that Trump caused January 6th. If he had simply accepted the reality of his loss, nobody is storming the Capitol that day. And this is the subject you want to avoid.
I'm not avoiding the subject and I'm not denying that Trump caused it.
From the beginning I've argued that Jan 6th is blown out of proportion (and then some) by Democrats and their mainstream media mouthpieces. It's being used for political gain, which you just admitted
And Democrats claiming that bunch of protesters, armed with flags and some pepper spray, were out to end democracy in the US is just pathetic.
Secondly I mentioned the Floyd riots to point out the impact of those riots compared to Jan 6th (and we know that many places still haven't recovered, businesses have left and so on). That the Floyd riots were more destructive in every way is clear as day.
