I'll extend an olive branch: I totally get it, something's gone wrong. But I can't help but be frustrated when people on the right in this very thread make shitty posts like the one a couple above. That's totally dismissive and derisive but for some reason it's only the left who has to watch their rhetoric. The right has figured out how to make the shitty rhetoric a feature rather than a bug and it is wholly frustrating. People of positions of power on the right made jokes about the attack on Paul Pelosi while the democratic party in its entirety gets blamed if someone random on facebook does the same for Trump's assassination attempts. 

Here's a simple example. see if any republican on TV ever calls it the democratic party, no instead they call it the democrat party as a little insult every time. Or mispronounces people's names or says "Barack Houssein Obama". Is there anything like that from the left that is from positions of power rather than just random left internet users?

Trump is responsible for Jan 6th but none of these guys are responsible for radicalizing at least a couple individuals that tried to assassinate Trump .... seems a pretty big double standard to me.  

Edit - holy don't watch past the first couple minutes.  The word Fight suddenly started sounding weirdly wrong.  the first section of clips is what I was after, the second section completely lacks context and is just Dems using the word fight ... don't waste your time after like 2 min.

The only thing I saw of any concern seemed to be from actors. If someone on the left in a position of power had denied the results of the election and called people to the capital to protest I can see your point about double standards. Instead, what it seems like to me is that you were equating an amalgamation Democrat saying different things to a single individual, denying the election and then calling for protests which turned violent. And if that's all Trump had done I might just give him a pass if I wasn't aware of the elector shenanigans as well.
