I think as we’ve learned more about the virus we’ve learned (after the occurrence of the initial BLM protests) that the transmission rate in large open environments such as beaches or some protests is signficicantly lower compared to closed environments such as churches. In hindsight this does make it hypocritical that some events were criticized and others were not, though the argument can be made that given information at the time the prevailing notion that outdoor rallies by a demographic that refuses to wear mask (for example, in tight knit admissions lines at said rallies) would undeniably spread a not insignificant amount of COVID. Ultimately as a hypocrisy it’s small frys compared to the tidal wave of misinformation and intentionally damaging information, as well as the incompetent response and outright pitting of states against each other, compared to the current administrators actions during COVID as a whole. TLDR; America’s response to COVID has been a relentless failure compared to all other western countries of similar size and demographics (outside of MAYBE Brazil) such that exaggeration and hypocrisy towards a small number of social gatherings is utterly insignificant by comparison.
