> Rioting in the US is viewed extremely unfavorably in the US

Unless storming the Capitol to disrupt a democratic election.



It was viewed overwhelming negatively by most of the country, and was a big part of the following campaigning that resulted in a lot of Republicans losing seats in the house.


As with so many things in the US, civil disobedience is only considered a problem when "the left" does it.
