Trump did precisely that. As you've heard today, ones who've been arrested claim they were doing what Trump wanted them to do. Their messianic zeal on those steps and in those hallways speaks to that.

Nothing that Republicans have criticized Trump for recently ever made a difference in Trump's dumb-ass handling of the virus and by extension the economy. So don't hold Dems to similar backward looking magic.
As I accurately pointed out, you can't fairly compare the damage and loss of lives from the summer riots with the catastrophic loss of lives, 400K and counting, and the orders of magnitude greater costs to the economy, from a REALLY dim witted president, feckless enablers in Congress, 'no mask requirements here' from some GOP governors and especially from his oh so helpful super spreader Trumpanzees.
You can try, but numbers talk and bullshit walks.
