maybe it's what is being protested against that matters, and not who the government is?
during COVID, even grannies got beaten up in the West, while BLM was let off the hook
The reaction to the Jan 6 protests, from what I've seen of the footage, was corrupt. there's no way I'd go to a protest around that building anymore if I thought it would piss off the ruling party
I think it's the same thing everywhere
