I think the defense "I dropped 100 guns on the street, but only 1 was used for murder," is not a great defense. Sure not everyone who voted for Trump stormed the capital, but the people who did storm the capitol were waving Trump flags, came from a Trump rally, and were responding to Trump's call to pressure Pense and representatives to do something they had no legal power to do.
But sure, Trump said once to peacefully protest. That totally overdoses him saying people had to fight or their country would be stolen. He told violent extremists, who showed up at the riot, to stand by.
Trump took hours to respond, and he didn't deploy the national guard to respond to the emergency. But sure, he told them to leave eventually so all is forgiven.
You can complain about Democratic being nasty to Trump, but they didn't storm the capital while calling to kill the vice president.
