It is up to the courts to decide if these things are illegal or not. Of course people should be held to the same standard. But there is obviously nuance in how a message may be recieved by others and a question of intent. A sitting president and conspiracy theorist trying to steal an election is different to a group of people protesting against police. Maybe there are grounds for prosecution in both cases, but that's not the point. There is a difference. I think people want to use these issues as a way of pointing out hypocrisy that only exists when you think in a culture war way. All nuance is dissolved.
