The problem with the term “mostly peaceful protest” is that it belies the reality most people were experiencing.

When you’re scared to go outside because of the violence, when v you’re not allowed to go outside because the city issued a curfew, when the stores around you are looted, destroyed and torched, then you do care about the 90% of protests which were peaceful.

I guarantee you- had the government cracked down on those violent protests (or at least strongly condemned them), and had the msm acknowledged them and called them out, and they would have stopped; then no one would be bothered by the majority of the peaceful ones.

But when surrounded by violence, being bombarded by messaging about how peaceful “most” of it is, is pure gaslighting.

And condemning republicans who supported the rally (though not the riots) on Jan 6th, without condemning the Democrats who supported the rioting- including actively raising bail for them!- is tremendous hypocrisy.
