Is it possible to forego "whataboutisms" just once?
I believe what happened today is the direct outcome of downplaying and justifying rioting/violence from the likes of #BLM. I warned then that if we allow those riots to go on, there is nothing to prevent the Right from using similar tactics.
What happened yesterday was the result of a considerable number of the elected representatives of the people perpetuating the completely unfounded idea that the presidential election was stolen from Trump and that the results of the election should be overthrown. They were trying to completely destroy our democracy.
What happened yesterday was that the completely unhinged Donald Trump incited thousands of people to riot and to storm the capital building. They did. They were trying to completely destroy our democracy.
It had nothing to with BLM or the anti-fascists.
