They believe the slightest challenge to their authority is the same as thousands of deaths of Americans. Think of this, name one politician who had so much as a scratch from the “insurrection”? They openly posture that they are above you. That the slightest affront to their existence is the same as the death of thousands, the pain of millions. “Violence against politicians” has become a hot topic in media while their decrees kill and destroy their constituents livelihoods. We now see the same paradigm as what presented in the revolutionary war, loyalists and separatists. This reality will divide families, and the reality of a new civil war will put brother against brother. As it has been for all of human and American history, the tree of liberty needs to be fed.

Make that death of hundreds and pain of hundreds of thousands if not millions and the same thing stacks up with the George Floyd Riots. In fact, most of the people complaining the loudest about Jan 6 were openly supporting violence in the streets and property destruction just a couple weeks (if not couple days or hours) before.
If they gave a fuck about your business being destroyed, they wouldn’t have locked down the entire economy (except for big box stores who can afford to be exempt) over a bad flu.
There are no universal principles at play on the left. It’s all about exercising power. Billions in damages, dozens of lives lost, massive virus spread? Perfectly fine as long as those events helped forward leftist culture and policy.
A few hundred people show up to the capitol unarmed and get rowdy? Shoot one of them in the neck, beat another one of them to death, throw everyone else in prison, without trial, for going on a year. Because they attacked the leftist cathedral, and that’s worse than 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.
I tried explaining to someone on the left how I condemned the actions of people who stormed the Capitol but was annoyed by all the hand wringing when they openly cheered destruction the year prior
How about January 20, 2017? It's a much better parallel.
Oh yea. I don’t remember that being an attack on democracy
You can't reason with a hardcore leftist. Their central tenet is lies and illogical arguments. It's why they can be openly hypocritical, why their views are always inconsistent, why they promote their own feelings above facts, and why the useful idiots can even be convinced to disbelieve things they see with their own eyes. Many are fully indoctrinated, and most others can't be convinced otherwise without great pain, which results from intentionally ignoring basic truths. It will happen more steadily as the situation deteriorates, but I only warn of the futility of trying to reason with them.
