in terms of "harm caused", they aren't comparable at all, we are working with events of fundamentally different magnitudes
yeah, hanging Mike Pence really would've satisfied those grievances
Alternative hypothesis: County level Republicans calling for people to storm the capitol might be more relevant, what with all the "stolen election" bullshit that was floating around
the "hurt" did not stick-Trump is back on top of the GOP, even in post-presidential life
Okay, so the protests were more spread out. Does that make it okay that more people still died in total?
Sure, but he's unlikely to ever be re-elected. He might have had a decent chance at winning a second term if the riot didn't happen. Sure, Trump is back on top of the GOP, but it's largely due to the second impeachment. Between the time of the Capitol riot and the impeachment, I'd wager lots of Republicans we're gonna move on from Trump, since he royally screwed up. The impeachment just reignited fanaticism.
Can you really blame them for thinking there was voter fraud when the media made it very clear that they had an agenda against Trump, when his supporters were asking he be given a fair chance?
Yes. Yes I can.
It's incredibly stupid.
