Agree with you that this ancient message board format is hard.

As to the discussion at hand...

Suffice it to say, no, that's not right. Minnesota had the most massive deployment of it's National Guard about 3 days after George Floyd's death. That was accelerated from the earlier plan to deploy them when bigger protests were planned at the end of May.

You need to stop thinking of Jan 6 as the start too, by the way. It's an event that was long planned and came after plenty of "Stop the Steal" rallies before. There was quite a bit of social media chatter about what was being planned. And it's the bloody Capitol.

That there wasn't enough preparation isn't an accident either, we're finding out. The mayor of DC was denied her request to deploy the DC National Guard by the department of Defense, we now know. They were only allowed to be deployed to direct traffic, instead.

And there were inexplicable delays in deploying them after the Capitol was stormed too. It appears, from what we know now, that Trump wouldn't give the authorization, and eventually the acting Secretary of Defense deployed them after consulting with Pence. What that says about chain of command is a whole other kettle of fish.

And there's plenty of video showing how deferential some of the Capitol police were to the insurrectionists. Not only in letting them push through into the Capitol, but in then letting them leave in good order.

Can you honestly tell me, with a straight face, that if BLM had social media planning to march on the Capitol, the National Guard would not have been activated right away? That if they made it in, they'd have been allowed to walk out?

As for the insurrectionists and anti-mask protestors not being the same... No one says they are. They're different issues for which a lot of similar folks offered support. And they happened to be white men overwhelmingly, and President Trump's base. To the point being made about differential police response, they're perfectly comparable.
