Lets start with Mineappolis/St Paul.
"In the first few days after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, rioters tore through dense stretches of Minneapolis, St. Paul and other metro communities in retaliation, causing millions in property damage to more than 1,500 locations."A deeper look at areas most damaged by rioting, looting in Minneapolis, St. Paul
Twin Cities restaurants and retail stores were hit the hardest in the rioting following George Floyd's killing.www.startribune.com
You are trying like hell to make this a 'both sides' issue. And it is complete nonsense because only one side is using the violence a political platform and that is Trump and the Republicans.
Nobody is saying that everyone vulnerable has not been under constant assault for at least the last decade radicalizing them to do violence.
Nor would I anything but agree that similar violence has been occurring all summer long by mostly white domestic terrorists using the protests as cover.
But only Trump fomented this violence by turning them into propaganda photo ops in Portland. And acted like the NRA used to showing up at all the sites to stir up more click bait for his political campaign. And that all culminated on Jan 6th when he used the same tactics he did in DC (Speech with the backdrop of his goon squad beating on people that he uses as a political tool like he did back in June). He promoted it, spend money and time dealing with the permits that got changed to allow for the march, someone cancelled speeches that were to take place after he was done talking).
This is all not anything that any Democratic politician had even come close to doing.
Acting otherwise just makes you look like one of the endless trolls trying to change history one website chat at a time.
