Ever notice that only Trump haters believe that the Capital riot is equivalent to 3000 Americans dying from terrorism?

"I'd like to see Jan. 6 burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11."

So said George Will on ABC's “This Week” on Sunday, in what is a growing chorus by super-serious people in political media pushing a super-insulting comparison between the Jan. 6 Capitol riots and the 9/11 attacks that occurred almost 20 years ago.

You hear a lot of people complain about the false equivalency of comparing the Antifa/BLM riots to the Capital riot. In spite of the fact that Antifa/BLM are more violent, more destructive, infinitely more frequent, and more dangerous than what happened at the Capital... many liberals demand that the Capital riot was worse than all of the Antifa/BLM riots all together. 

Obviously the false equivalency according to them has nothing to do with any tangible actions, but rather it is entirely based on the transparent motivation of politics. The capital riot was worse not because the riot was worse. The capital riot was worse because it was conservatives who were upset at their conception that Joe Biden benefitted from election fraud, and they stormed the capital building in an attempt to disrupt the electoral college vote counting.

Now preventing the ECV from being counted would not have prevented Joe Biden from being sworn in as President, much less keep Donald Trump in office. It would have had no more or no less effect than if the hundreds of liberals who stormed the federal senate building would have been able to find the Kavanaugh confirmation committee and disrupted that meeting. Both are examples of hundreds of people entering a federal capital building without permission and trying to disrupt a process they were unhappy with. 

The real false equivalency is to pretend that a single riot in which only one person was directly killed (a rioter) and only three others indirectly killed (also rioters) is somehow the same as an event where three thousand Americans lost their lives, thousands of others were directly affected, and probably tens of thousands were indirectly affected.

Those who seek to compare the two are not just irrational, but delusional. You need a special motivation to fall this deep into this sort of state of mind. There is one explanation and someday psychologists will look back on this period of time and see a mass delusion sprung from an irrational hatred of the bad orange man. Trump derangement syndrome will become historical lore!
