The meme is pure deception. It contrasts a violent scene from the BLM protests with a seemingly innocuous one from the insurrection. We could talk about the fact that the overwhelming majority of BLM protests were peaceful. We could also talk about the fact that the BLM protesters were often the target of violence themselves. But that's completely irrelevant here.

Discussing the insurrection isn't contingent on discussing the BLM protests. One can be discussed without discussing the other. And vice versa. "But the BLM riots" is nothing more than whataboutery. It's an attempt to derail the conversation and control it by changing the topic.

So let's talk about the real lie in this meme:

The insurrection wasn't [peaceful](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/michael-fanone-capitol-riot-whitewash-b1838873.html). People died. Many more were [injured](https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/capitol-riot-police-injuries-trauma/2021/07/23/e008f0f0-d8d8-11eb-9bbb-37c30dcf9363_story.html). [Pipe bombs](https://www.npr.org/2021/09/09/1035402389/the-fbi-releases-new-video-of-the-suspect-who-planted-bombs-before-the-capitol-r) were planted. Credible [threats](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/23/police-records-capitol-attack-lawmakers) against the Vice President and members of Congress were made. A [gallows](https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2021-01-15/prosecutors-capitol-rioters-intended-to-capture-and-assassinate-elected-officials) for Mike Pence was erected outside of the building. There was thievery. There was trespassing. There was vandalism. Feces were smeared onto the walls of Congress. 691 people have been [charged](https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1) with crimes (so far).

But even if you conveniently ignore the violence, the vandalism and the looting - as `r/tucker_carlson` would have you do - it was still more than just a riot. The goal of the insurrection was to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory. The insurgents wanted to install Trump as a dictator. This was a coup attempt. The target was democracy itself.

But not even the insurgents themselves knew half of what was going on. They were just pawns. The real [coup](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/30/trump-2020-election-steal-presidency-coup-inside-story) attempt happened behind the scenes. Trump had repeatedly pressured Pence not to certify the election. Pence resisted. Not that the Constitution would have given Pence a choice, of course, but Trump doesn't take "no" for an answer either way. So Trump decided to sick the insurgents on Pence. Maybe Trump thought he could scare Pence into assisting the coup. Or maybe Trump simply wanted Pence dead. Time will tell.

None of what happened on 1/6 was harmless. None of it is excusable. None of it is acceptable. The [whitewashing](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/26/after-capitol-attack-republicans-are-again-whitewashing-trumps-behavior/) of the insurrection must stop. It is laying the groundwork for even worse acts of violence and further coup attempts. Reddit has a responsibility to end this.

This is another attempt to whitewash the Capitol attack. It is a lie that the coup attempt was peaceful or harmless or no big deal.
