If you add up all of the political violence used by the two main power groupings against each other in the last year or so, I think it ends up being about the same. To me, the storming of the Capitol has roughly the same weight as all of the BLM-related violence does. The psychological type I am referring to is something like this: Hatred and desire for revenge and power wrapped up inside an ideology that claims to base itself fundamentally on something other than just hatred and desire for revenge and power. Psychological poverty and inflexibility - there is a one-sided obsession with politics to the point that everything is primarily seen through a political lens and other people are viewed not as three-dimensional but primarily along tribal lines. Moral obsession - a conviction that one has a moral mandate. Simplicity - ideology and propaganda that reduces complex issues to simple ideas and slogans. Intolerance for opposing thought and speech - love of censorship and so on.
