Let's talk about that. Let's talk about the conservative reaction if it had been the other way around yesterday. Think it would be a bigger deal to the guys in this thread brushing it off? What would Republican politicians have to say about it? How many people would've been shot on the Capitol steps if a multi-ethnic, liberal leaning crowd (as opposed to an exclusively white, conservative crowd) tried to storm the building to disrupt Trump's certification? Because I agree, it's extremely likely the same thing could've happened (though the rioters would've had to make that decision on their own as opposed to being incited by Joe Biden, the way these people were incited by Trump). But I suspect the outcome would've been entirely different. Considering how the police tended to stand down against left-wing riots all year, I'd say the number shot would be zero. I don't think it's a virtue that the left will riot on their own volition, while ring-wingers need to be cajoled. Still only one fringe group that stormed the US Capitol, and it wasn't a liberal one. Still only one political figure that told his followers to do it, and it wasn't a liberal one. I don't think that's a virtue.
