It's absolutely insane. I'd be interested in seeing the breakdown by age, because I'd wager that most anyone who still gets their "news" from TV (i.e. mostly old people) are the ones that think that J6 was the worst attack on the US since the revolutionary war and that the 2020 election was the most secure, safe, and effective ever.
Despite all the propaganda, more people thought the BLM riots were worse than J6. Don't mistake the astroturfed reality for actual opinions of real people.
I would say that is true albeit with a massive partisan split. The Democrats are totally detached from reality, we we see from them thinking thousands of unarmed black men are killed by police every year, & thinking half the people who catch COVID need to be hospitalized, etc.
With double-think, it's very easy to believe that BLM riots were worse than J6 and simultaneously that J6 was the worst attack on a nation state in the history of human civilization.
/u/dekachin is unfortunately right.
A majority of Democrats don't even think there was significant violence in 2020. The level of total brainwashing is unbelievable.
We don't live in the same world as these people.
No, normal right wing people are just sick of hearing about it & always opposed violence against police & rioting.
The J6ers who engaged in violence deserve prison, just not as much as they got.
The BLM rioters deserved prison even more, yet all of them were let off.
The "justice system" in America right now is rigged against the Right.
The solution isn't to stop punishing Right wing wrongdoers, it's to start punishing the Left wing ones. Order, not chaos.
Unironically, people like you are why America fell.
“No friends to the right” in action. Imagine classifying a massive segment of your own (supposed) political cohort as abnormal. And imagine doing so while referencing a poll that shows you are still in the minority on these issues. I guess “normal” republicans are the neocons and Civnats who are “leading” the party while representing the views of only 10-30% of its voters.
Fr. Just more milquetoasting.
What is wrong with what he said? Be specific.
You can't just play the referee, you have to take action as well. If laws are being unequally enforced on your side then why are you helping the enforcers?

The state lost the right to imprison any rioter the moment they started jailing people without charge for months at a time, engaging in brainwashing efforts, refusing to treat people for medical illnesses, keeping people with misdemeanor charges in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, refusing to let prisoners see their lawyers, and otherwise refusing to give anyone a fair trial.
The DC Circuit for Trump supporters is as badly slanted as the all-white Mississippi courts were for the Scottsboro Boys.
You fail to understand the importance of the friend/enemy distinction. You can go back to equally doling out punishment for wrongdoing after you win the war and have power.
The system was broken and the process of justice poisoned. They must ALL be pardoned, even those who "engaged in violence". Anyone who was imprisoned must be compensated.
Even if some of the government's claims may be true, their overall narrative and motivation on this issue cannot be trusted.
