More proof the right wing is essentially comprised of closet fascists

"Comprised of" should be "composed of".
Or you could say...
"...essentially comprise closet fascists"

You guys keep triggering me!
Also, those in glass houses shouldn't throw brickbats.
Liberals have their fascist elements too, eg, AOC's
opposition to capitalism, Biden's support for civil
forfeiture abuse.
And before anyone screams "False equivalency!",
consider: Believing that the other side is worse,
doesn't mean yours is without sin. It's still bad.

And "Believing that the other side is worse" does not make it true.

Okay, so not even close to what occurred in the Capitol. They may have injured more people, but there were many protests. But none of them were even close to being an attempted insurrection.

Meanwhile some of the raiders of the Capitol were just idiots. Like Richard Barnett. He fought his case and even worse testified on his onw behalf. He did have the right to do that, but one should have a solid game plan before making such testimony. The prosecutor had no trouble poling all sorts of holes into his testimony and according to news reports that visible angered Barnett. It took the jury all of two hours they came back with a guilty decision on all eight charges he faced. And to prove that he was an idiot instead of showing remorse he still said that he did not think that he was guilty. At least wait until after sentencing to show that you have no remorse for your actions if you want a light sentence: He faces up to 20 years in prison and has not given the judge any reason to give him a break.

Meanwhile some of the "brains" behind this action were convicted of the crime of seditious conspiracy which means that even if you do not like it, it was an attempted coup. A laughably failed one, but still an attempted coup:

Is a courthouse the seat of the US government? Is a courthouse the seat of even State government? I openly criticized the BLM protesters when they went too far. And there were too many cases where they did. But the claim was that what what violent BLM protesters did was worse than what happened on January 6 and that does not appear to be the case.

"But none of them were even close to being an attempted insurrection"

So you don't think attacking a courthouse and police precinct and trying to burn them down with people/officers inside is an " insurrection"

insurrection; a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Covered ad nauseum.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

No. It is not. An insurrection is an attempt to replace a government. Those protesters were violent. They were breaking the law. They need to be punished. But they were not attempting to replace the government. An insurrection is an even higher crime than what those people were committing.
