That's fine. I've already said both parties have serious issues. We need more political parties, there's no question about it. Only one party produced Trump. Only one party had its leader, the sitting president, tell citizens to subvert democracy after they lost a presidential election.

You guys keep comparing this to BLM. I've already explained the differences multiple times, but I'll reiterate a key feature: All summer long you all complained about the riots and the 'radical leftist threat' and supported police. It was radical right wingers who stormed the capitol and KILLED A POLICE OFFICER. So much for the party of law and order. You don't get to go back and make these dopey comparisons now. You already complained about this stuff; the difference was the right supposedly didn't do this kind of thing.

You're going to need a new argument. I'm just going to sit in the middle, shaking my head at the extremists on both sides, and pointing out the hypocrisy that is endlessly spouted on this board by conservatives.

Okay, there are hypocrites on both sides, fair enough. And yeah, Trump supporters did their share of damage the other day, though it's still a VERY SMALL FRACTION of the damage done during the George Floyd riots.

You're the one that keeps bringing up Trump's incendiary comments without mentioning the same rhetoric from the other side. And when I notice you doing that, I'll keep responding in kind.

Go for it. Telling people to resist Trump's psychotic tendencies is preferable to the president telling people to march on the capitol and "take back the country," because he lost an election. Stop equating the destruction of a Wendy's to an assault on the capitol while congress was in session! It's insane.

And again, zero politicians told protests groups to burn down businesses; THE PRESIDENT told his supporters to subvert democracy for his own gain. For the millionth time, rioting by either side is unacceptable; but the difference is one side was protesting civil injustice which included police murdering people in the street; while the other side attacked the capitol because their guy lost an election. There is simply no comparison from a moral standpoint. None.
