Critics have been attacking the Democrats' focus on the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6 2021, and for good reason. According to new research, other events have had a much higher impact on America, both in terms of damage and in human terms.
Real Clear Investigations has committed to running concurrent data on the damage done on the Jan. 6 at the Capitol, and how authorities have reacted to it, and comparing it with other violent riots, including those of the summer of 2020, or even the riots that took place in Washington DC in 2017 on the day of President Trump's inauguration.

Real Clear Investigations comments on their website:
"Republicans, Trump supporters, and others see a double standard at play in Democrats’ emphasis on Jan. 6. They note that many Democrats cheered nationwide protests and some even put up bail after the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, a black man, by a white police officer -- prolonged unrest that generated far more death and destruction."
"They argue that groups associated with the summer’s violence, such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa, themselves aim to subvert democracy, and acted accordingly in targeting cops, public offices, and private businesses."
