Does anyone else think that left-wing and right-wing protests are in fact quite similar?

I live in California and in the spring of 2020, right-wing protestors protested against Covid lockdown. Then there were left-wing BLM protests in the summer of 2020. Than there were the right-wing J6 protests in January 2021. Now there are left-wing anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I think in all of these cases, about 90% of the protesters are good and peaceful, but about 10% are looking to stir up trouble and should be punished. I really don't see much of a difference. What do you think?

Yes, I agree with you.

No, I think you are wrong.

See results.

One side is based on fact the other side is based on fabrication. The courts are proving which is which.

The right-wing anti-lockdown protests were based on the opinion that the lockdowns were wrong. The left-wing protests are based on the opinion that ICE should not be deporting illegal immigrants. Be careful you don't try to twist or spin things to make your side look better, wherever side that is.

"Good and peaceful"? As if anything was ever achieved through peaceful protest. Violence is the only language that works against the government.

Almost like sowing division allows them to manipulate the population or something.

You never see conservative protesters burning police cars.
