I think the confusion comes from a general lack of understanding of basics parts of political science.

The strength of a state is measured by its ability to peacefully transfer power. That means that any attempt to disrupt that is a critical attack on the state itself and our system as a whole.

The protestors for Kavanaugh had no realistic aspirations for stopping the proceedings and while it can technically be the case, in this instance it did not represent a transfer of power.

January 6th was a much more serious matter, and those that participated are being dealt with accordingly. The only ways that you can disagree with that is A) you do not have a basic understanding of government, or B) you hate America.

This is an absolute lie. They didn't fight Gorsuch because it was a conservative replacing a conservative. They fought Kavanaugh because it was a conservative replacing a liberal. His place on the Court represented a transfer of power on the Supreme Court.

I'd say rounding up political enemies and putting them in jail is a better measure.

And yet, of all who participated, no charges of insurrection.

Your rationalization is not really true. Kavanaugh was a significant transfer of power within the Supreme Court. Not of the same magnitude, but nonetheless a significant transfer of power. Neither of the demonstrations succeeded in anything more than a minor delay.

This is just another case of "That's (D)ifferent," in our dem termite infested, two tier "justice system."

If you still believe that, in March 2024, after all the facts that have come out about it, then you maybe mentally handicapped. That, or programmed to the point of no return.

I watched the whole thing unfold in real time. I didn't see anything but a peaceful protest. In stark contrast to leftwing protestors who burned major American cities only a few months earlier. So what am I missing? Maybe if all the video of Jan 6 was made available it would explain a few things.

The police waved "rioters" through and escorted them into the building. It was a riot by unarmed sightseeers who had plane tickets home for the next day. It was not a coup, sedition, nor an insurrection. It was a protest that got out of hand, with a little help from the "Fed-surrectionists".

Lot of people arrested and put in prison who were escorted through the capitol by police, and stayed between the red ropes like they were in a museum.

There are people in prison who weren’t even physically present that day.

Yet the person caught on video and tracked home who put a “bomb” by a bench (a “bomb” that oddly resembles a FBI training aid) is still walking free.

I think it’s you who doesn’t have a “basic understanding” of much that’s going on.
