Yeah, I personally don’t think the mobs on 1/6 were inspired by and


“Given permission”, if you will, to assault the Capitol by anything that happened in 2020. I think they were given that by months of lies over the election. And by being assembled and spun up by political leaders in DC on that day. But I can’t disprove your cause-effect relationship, if that’s what you mean.

It is all unfortunate, to put it mildly. There were a lot of anti-Trumpies, including many dems, and BLM protestors, who lamented the violence because they thought it would be turned against them in short order, and because it’s just plain wrong. And because it could at some point be used to justify violence initiated by other parts of the political spectrum. Those concerns are also valid, and were raised by some who generally agreed with the George Floyd protests at the time.
