Invading and occupying the U.S. capitol with a fatal anti-democratic insurrection seems like a good place to start.

Given that the attempted assassination of congress members at a base/softball game was not a good place to start, I don't see how one could justify starting at the invasion of a federal building except in considering the teams involved.

Help me understand how a lone gunman at a softball game is the equivalent of a fatal anti-democratic insurrection invading and occupying the nations capitol.

Well for starters, realizing it isn't just a lone political assassin.

Second, if you look at only those with the intention to kill or gravely wound, the numbers are quite comparable.
Third, one of these is an attack on a much softer target and done without any warning, making it a more dangerous threat.

I don't get what you're trying to say. You think that platforms don't attempt to stop calls to assassination?
Because it seems like you're whatabouting presidential assassination attempts to do what exactly?

"Whatabouting" or "whataboutism" is just the negative name for pointing out inconsistent application of standards.
Yes but where to draw a line?
