The way they complain about it though, it seems to me that they think mouse studies are done for the sake of mice. ‘Crazy woke liberals want to make even mice transgender.’ Is the whistle they’re blowing.
Really difficult to argue that “both sides are equally to blame for the bad discourse” when one side had a mob of terrorists storm the capitol (then pardoned all of them) and the other side held up tiny signs during a speech.
Or instead of making a bad faith comparison of partisan violence, you could compare it to the George Floyd protests which injured over 700 police officers and killed over 20 people.
And in which case did the party leader stand up and incite the mob before they went on their war path?
If we’re going to compare January 6 to the George Floyd riots, one was explicitly political, and the other one was fed up populace.
One started with a rally intended to gas the mob up in hopes of securing the capital for their fuhrer. The other was started as the result of the outright murder of an individual by a state actor.
One was essentially organized by the Republican Party leader, and the other was an impromptu display of discontent.
There were quite a few Democrats that encouraged the protests that turned into riots during the George Floyd stuff.
That's literally exactly the same as Trump. He encouraged a protest, but literally told them to peacefully protest, just as many of those Democrats did.
And for how many of them were the protests formed around the Democrat politician?
How many Democrats: got up on stage for a rally for themselves then -> told the attendees to go and “peacefully protest” then -> the protestors went and turned into a riot?
How many of the George Floyd protesters were chanting to hang a public official? With the intent of dismantling democracy?
There was no evidence supporting the narrative for either riot. The idea that black people are disproportionately killed by police is not supported by the data, unless you think a single murder justified all of those riots and the deaths.
So far, there there are multiple replies to my comment arguing with me about something I didn't say (i.e. "the cited studies don't have anything to do with making mice transgender"). So yes, both sides are so eager to score points that they don't even bother to read anymore.
