Someone can be legitimately appalled by something and also hold a blind spot in another context due to motivated reasoning. It doesn’t mean they’re faking it.

It’s a fine line between pointing out the hypocrisy (good) and using it as a way to downplay the wrongs on your side (bad).

While there are many differences between BLM riots and the capitol riot, they were both certainly cases of people with perceived grievances using violence in an attempt to overthrow systems of authority.

That’s my point, they are both wrong. But it was democrats pushing blm as a political narrative. Democrats were the ones that painted blm in front of the white house and Trump tower as if Trump was to blame. They tried to pit him as a racist, which is such a propaganda attempt. Chris Cuomo also said “no one ever said a protest was supposed to be polite and peaceful” on air. They 100% used the blm riots as a political ploy

You do realize in the absence of guns and gun laws.. guns will be produced due to demand, likewise with zero legal restrictions on their functionality (read: everyone gets a suppressed fullauto short barreled phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.) Really not a well thought out statement you made there.
