They are both wrong is literally my point. People act like the left has never done anything nearly as bad as jan 6th and act as if they are totally appalled by it.

Nobody has done anything nearly as bad as Jan 6.
Most Americans are still outraged by the storming of the capitol.

This is a lie. The only people that died on jan 6th were Trump supporters and a cop from an allergic reaction. 35 people died during blm riots. How did you come to the conclusion that this is acceptable?

Someone can be legitimately appalled by something and also hold a blind spot in another context due to motivated reasoning. It doesn’t mean they’re faking it.
It’s a fine line between pointing out the hypocrisy (good) and using it as a way to downplay the wrongs on your side (bad).
While there are many differences between BLM riots and the capitol riot, they were both certainly cases of people with perceived grievances using violence in an attempt to overthrow systems of authority.
