When people talk about threat to democracy or institutions, what they mean is threat to democrats or democratically run institutions. When democrats storm the White House or try to jail their political opponent or stage a coup on their own candidate, this is good for democracy because it serves the democrat party.

There aren’t any Joe Biden shirts or flags in the photos of those protesters. Their motivation was to protest police brutality and the justice system, not to overthrow the results of an election. Most importantly, Biden wasn’t leading them. He was condemning violence repeatedly during those protests. Trump on the other hand was watching Fox News and enjoying every minute of it while lawmakers ran for their lives.

His daughter and members of his own admin testified under oath about this. His own kids were pleading with him to stop it. He now refers to people who were convicted for violently attacking the capitol because of his constant lies “hostages”. Suggesting there is any equivalent on the left is extreme cope. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-capitol-probes-season-finale-focus-trump-supporters-three-hour-rage-2022-07-21/
