    They’re cracking down harder on these protesters than the January 6th insurrectionists lol.

      Trump was in charge on J6. The failure to crack down then, is in part due to Trump intentionally not cracking down. I would compare this to the heavy handed crackdown on the DC Black Lives Matter protesters. You know, the one where he heals a Bible upside down. That was a violent crackdown on mostly peaceful protestors.

        Fair points.

        Side note just in case it saves you from a gotcha in arguing with a Maga nutjob, but Trump didn’t hold the Bible upside down that day, per NYT, Politifact, and other fact checkers. He’s still a useless piece of shit.

      Trump refused to send people to crack down on the January 6th insurrectionists.

      Also, pretty hard to say that when one didn’t last a day and resulted in criminal accusations, the other has been going on for over a week and, as far as I know, has seen no one being criminally accused.

        People are being charged with assault, hate speech, trespass and resisting arrest.

        All of which are criminal charges.
