Enraged violent people rioted and burned cities, and a lot of the same Congresspeople cheered them on.

Can you name some specific people cheering the riots and destruction? FYI, there were literally millions of protesters across the US and only a tint fraction caused damage.

The two are not at all equal. A sitting congressperson supporting BLM protests is not the same thing as a sitting congressperson openly encouraging and even participating in overthrowing a free election.

No matter how much the right wants it, the two situations are not even close to being equal.

Kamala Harris encouraged people to donate to the MN bail fund, which was used to bail out rioters.

You are correct: the Jan. 6 protests were far less deadly and less damaging than the BLM protests.

Both things can be true. I was narrowly addressing your comment that "nobody is really worried" about something that almost actually happened. Indeed, many people are now acutely worried about unhinged conspiracy theorists taking power through a charismatic guy.
