Jan 6th didn't even get suppressed and broken up by police. The police gave a tiny bit of resistance that day compared to similarly sized peaceful protests against racism and Israel's genocide until the Jan 6th protestors assaulted the cops.

Cops responding to actual violence isn't suppressing and breaking up a protest.

I specifically mentioned Jan 6th being an exception. I was talking about the generality the post's image is claiming. What protests are racists conducting around the entire country? Genuine question.

Openly racist rallies are increasing: https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7byyd/2024-election-neo-nazis-visible-on-streets

Any MAGA rally is inherently racist based on their anti immigrant rhetoric being aimed at Hispanic and Latino immigrants.

That was a pretty chilling article, thanks for the link.
