It's not like 2016 is ancient history. Why are people against reminders of when they're candidate lost and they threw a fit?

Because it’s a false equivalency here. The Oakland protests started peacefully before devolving due to police antagonism and some bad actors. These fascists used semis to blockade main roads and resorted immediately to violence, which is much closer to the Canadian blockade/Jan 6th than it is to what happened in Oakland.

Because it's A BIT WEIRD that you're trying to equate protests with a fucking attempted coup, innit mate?

OK I guess I'll compare it to this deadly insurrection.

I mean, the 2016 Oakland protests started peacefully. This doesn’t look like that. It looks more like the Canadian blockade since they had truckers block roads and resorted immediately to violence.
People aren’t opposed to facts, they’re opposed to false equivalency.
