Let me lay it out there plain and simple

Democrats, disputed, protested and strongly disliked the 2016 election results.

Republicans actively sought to undermine the 2020 results with fake electors and their base rioting and getting violent at the Capitol.

A Bernie supporter shoots Steve Scalise and Bernie strongly condemns it.

A supporter of TFG commits violence in his name and he says nothing or tells them they’re special.

A man wanted to do something to Kavanaugh and turned himself in before he did it.

A man broke into the house of the Pelosis, injured Paul and wanted to do who knows what (I have an idea and it’s not pleasant) to Nancy.

Both sides are not the same. Neither side is perfect or has people without shortcomings. There’s a difference between not being perfect and being openly and disgustingly vile seeking to attack our way of life and undermine what we’ve known.
