BLM wasn't democrats...democrats supported BLM, but many members/participants in BLM and the related events are against both republicans and democrats. Something like 30-40% of voters identify as independent...

Contrast that to Jan. 6. Those were almost universally republican voters, with a sprinkling of federal agents. Many people are against what happened both on Jan 6 and during the BLM craze (you know, ike *any* reasonable american citzen).

No reasonable person on any part of the political spectrum thinks breaching the capitol on Jan 6 or any of the BLM protests that devolved into looting/rioting were OK.

As a centrist I agree with this. Both were wrong and the constant comparing and figure pointing has been helping no one.

Can you explain what opinions you hold that make you consider yourself a centrist?

Both sides are trash that can’t admit anything wrong about their parties.

That’s my point, they are both wrong. But it was democrats pushing blm as a political narrative. Democrats were the ones that painted blm in front of the white house and Trump tower as if Trump was to blame. They tried to pit him as a racist, which is such a propaganda attempt. Chris Cuomo also said “no one ever said a protest was supposed to be polite and peaceful” on air. They 100% used the blm riots as a political ploy
