How exactly did Trump incite violence? He condemned the insurgents. He said today that killing cops should result in the death penalty. How exactly is he inciting violence?
Trump is a master of the implied violence. Words like 'use strength' incite violence.
Chants like "No justice, no peace" or "All Cops Are Bastards", along with the closed fist symbol used by BLM are inherently violent. Any individual or corporation supporting supporting such violent rhetoric and symbolism should be de-platformed, lose their jobs, and be unable to engage in financial transactions...just like Trump.
but nice try with your whataboutism. "No Peace" means the protests weren't going to end until the cops stopped getting away with shooting black folk. This was understood from context. Also it's not "All Cops Are Bastards" it's "All Cops Are Bad'. It's a reference to the "Blue Wall", e.g. how cops protect their own even when their own are bad, making them in turn all bad.
So no, the two are not even remotely equivalent. One lost a fair election and attempted to overthrow the US Government, failing largely
This constraint refrain of 'whataboutism' from you is bullshit: you don't just point out things that are going on with people you hate without looking at your own political party. It's called a 'double standard' not 'whataboutism'.
