So you're saying giving a speech with war-like symbolism ("if you don't fight like hell", "we will never give up. We will never concede" "we will stop the steal", "we are going to the capitol") to a crowd which he knew contained people ready for violence, is escalation? Where is the proof that there were federal agents inciting violence (I thought it was Antifa agents? The story changes all the time...).


Does similar Democrat language around BLM at the time of CHAZ/CHOP mean Democrats encouraged insurrection?

Unlike Jan 6th, the CHAZ rioters brought rifles, organized a standing militia, and murdered someone to assert control of the area they seized — which seems distinctly more violent.


Okay, so what? Those “rioters,” you allege, violated the sanctity of the law in a few localities. Small potatoes.

The other guy was attempting to disrupt the law and order of the entire nation by violating the peaceful, democratic transfer of power.

There is more than a difference in degree between these two events: there is a difference in kind.


Yes — there is a difference in kind:

- one protested against power

- one formed an armed militia that murdered civilians

Democrats are (five years later) still being violent against the government, eg:
