Oh, I see. Are we talking about the 75 million people who supported the person who incited a mob? Members of the mob themselves? What's the difference?
I get it - to you it's just a political flame war. Easier to just brand everyone who voted for Trump a terrorist sympathizer, than to consider the myriad reasons they may have had for voting how they did. It's only 74.2 million people after all.
Maybe easier for you to dismiss concerns your fellow technologists might have, when Big Tech's largest companies unite to completely destroy a competitor with millions of users in a single day, based on the actions of a tiny sliver of its users.
"What's the difference?" you ask, I assume non-ironically.
I wonder, let's say if a politician started a fund to bail out the arrested protesters, would you consider them complicit in the violence?

This is what Trump wants. This is why he's tried to overturn a democratically held election. This is why he's incited his followers to riot.
You seem to be assuming I'm a Democrat. I am not.
BTW, I love how you've disingenuously implied Harris funded bail for the DC protesters. She did not. It was for the BLM protestors, who, are clearly not fascist, if you look at the definition.
Again, I’m not interested in the political flame war.
You want to make it solely about the right, and the term fascist is thrown around against many on the right regardless of how non-fascist they may be, often times immediately followed by violently attacking them on the street.
I didn’t say Harris funded bail for the DC protestors on the 6th.
In fact, Harris funded bail for rioters who were much more violent than what we saw on the 6th. The BLM riots caused over $2 billion in property damage, killed dozen of people, and maimed hundreds. Police officers, and Federal courthouses were a notable target. Also the Whitehouse on at least one occasion.
It's not a "political flame war." For the past 4 years, we have had an ultra-right wing, authoritarian, nationalist president in the White House. That's literally the definition of "fascist."

And, for that, I give her credit.
While the casualties are regrettable, I'm not sure why you even mention them here.
Property damage? Pffft. Who cares? That's what insurance is for.
