Trump's case is kind of funny because half the US political class was in a state of open rebellion all through 2020. Local politicians were letting rioters thrive because riots brough unstability to the federal government, and
they didn't care if the people they represented had their homes, cars and businesses burned in the process. Governors were wiping their asses with executive orders. Democracy was ripping by the seams because half the country didn't respect due procedures, and in any other country this would have resulted in lots of politicians getting jailed for insubordination or rebellion.
And a lot of people getting water-canoned and jailed for rioting. Some
voters don't see the connection, but allowing that side to run wild during
the Summer did very little to discourage (and likely encouraged some) to act out when their turn came on January 6.
Many of our elected officials, especially in population centers, are
horrible.
So yeah, if majors and governors are above the law and above their duty, the why not every other politician? If open rebellion is a valid tactic for democrats in 2020 then open rebellion is a valid tactic in Jan 6 and laws need
not apply to any side.
I don't think democrats who jumped on the George Floyd bandwagon are aware of the sort of Pandora's box they opened.
If they are aware they will certainly never admit the connection.
