Trump, himself, tried your line when describing rightwing agitators and peaceful BLM protestors in the South. They weren't "as bad as each other". The whites nationalists killed a woman and attempted to foment unrest. The BLM marchers carried placards and demanded justice. How are they equivalent? You're spouting bollocks and its dangerous bollocks too.
I live in the US. I have Democrats and Republicans right next door. They aren't "as bad as each other". Two tiny illustrations. The Dems in my neighbourhood have been afraid to put up election signs while the Reps have run riot with them. In Maricopa the cops have had to throw an armed cordon around election workers at the count because approx. 100 QAnon/Trumpers turned up in full battle armour with assault rifles. At the same time in Philly the Dems had a spontaneous street party - no guns, no implied threat, just a public outpouring of joy.
The Dems want to mend the country, Trump wants it to remain fractured because he has an 'us' and 'them' narrative that appeals to base instincts.
