I wasn't at the Capitol, I was at several BLM protests, and no, they were not all because of the George Floyd murder. Several of them were protests over completely lawful, and necessary, shootings involving law enforcement. Fanatical is absolutely a word I'd use for those people. Also, the comparison is that both sides have engaged in political violence and no, it is not, as asserted by our resident word twisters, a discussion about which side is worse. The answer is both sides suck. Also, it is 100% a fact that Dem politicians excused, and in some cases encouraged the political violence. So no, there is no moral high ground to be claimed here.
Lastly, it is completely acceptable, and rational to find all of these incidents awful and unacceptable. But, you'll notice several people here are not doing that.
