One side supporting a peaceful protest vs the other supporting a violent protest is the same thing guys!!

Attempting to interfere with a judge being appointed is more meaningful than attempting to interfere with a president of the fucking United States being put into office!!

Dammit people! Get your priorities straightened out!

Stopping a judge from being appointed is literally interfering with the function of America's democratic system as the hearings are a requirement for a judge to be able to sit.

January 6 on the other hand would not have prevented the transfer of the presidency even if Pence didn't certify the electors.

Seems apples and oranges to January 6th
In one situation (sit ins) the capital building was OPEN to the public… in the other situation (J6) it was CLOSED and access was forced through criminal actions.

No damage was done and no police were assaulted… apples vs donuts

And it’s amazing how some posters think delaying Brett’s hearing would have prevented him from being appointed.

you brought it up to me, that's how it's part of my discussion

"posters"? I haven't seen anyone say it was a bigger story than the Jan6 mob, but I haven't read everything. I remember when you tried to make that strawman with BeardOfKnowledge @BeardOfKnowledge...

So...not actually wrong about it, but even if I was it's a basic logical fallacy to extrapolate it to other subjects or statements.
identity politics gotta identity politic, tho amirite?
He was trying to troll you into fighting with me. I mentioned that killing a judge is a more direct threat to democracy than J6 would have been even if it had succeeded. No one wants to address that observation on its merit, they want to say "So nothing would have changed if a bunch of politicians got killed?" and a bunch of other strawmen that have nothing to do with the overall point of bringing it up, which is that none of these people actually care about the sacredness of democracy.

Could they have proceeded with the hearings had they wanted to? Or were they running and hiding in fear for their lives?

Oh yeah, they're the same.

I mean the SCOTUS conformation hearings were open to the public. Every single protestor who was in the room yelling about abortion rights and being escorted out, gained access to that room by lining up and picking up a ticket from an office in the building that morning.

Whereas on Jan 6, the entire Capitol was closed to the public.

That's a completely meaningless difference, though.

I'm sure there are no other massive and crucial differences, either.

My Gallows and Guns are just as peaceful as a large group of oppressed women without any weapons!

Because it has no merit.

Because it was one wingnut in a van.

It wasn't incited and encouraged by the POTUS. It wasn't excused by the Democrat party. No Democrats in office or running for office are calling this guy a patriot or a political prisoner.

It. Is. Not. The. Same.

Is this genuinely too difficult a concept for you to wrap your head around, or are you legitimately that much of a lying shill?

Let also look at the charges associated to each event..

One had no violence, no theft, no vandalism, no break and enters, no death threats and so on…

The other event is ripe with criminal charges for violence and damage to the building.
Oh but Tucker told him that's just 'cause the system is rigged against good honest white conservative patriots.
