Sounds pretty similar to me. Both sides involved an attempted violent incursion into a core zone of the government. On bias checks, I'd probably just ask you to do the same first. Hell, I'm not even American.

One was met with celebration, I recall reddit threads on the top of all celebrating trumps weakness retreating to the bunker. Conversely, looking at msm rw response, they're not too happy with the capitol riots, with the wsj condemming then.

There are many things I dislike from the rw over the left. Their response to rioting isn't one of them.

No incident of rioting is acceptable...celebrating any of them is ridiculous. It does seem to be a double standard in allowing it for months in 2020 only to condemn it when the same tactics are used on 1/6. Violence and lawlessness isn't acceptable...unless you claim your voices are being ignored and your rights trampled upon...that was the message we have seen since May of last year.

Take political sides out of the equation...and none of the events like this that have transpired in the last year are acceptable.
