The second layer to both-sides is false-equivalence fallacy. A majority of Republicans believe in the Big Lie; their literal nominee tried to overthrow a free & fair election.

Let that sink in: A MAJORITY of Republicans believe 2020 was stolen.

Do you see the broader Democratic party or any of their high-level leaders calling for jailing people voting for Trump? No.

Being fooled is not a crime. Trump (along with many accomplices) is a criminal that needs to be prosecuted and thrown in jail, but unfortunately the morons who have fallen for his lies aren't breaking the law by doing so, so any claim to have them jailed is anti democratic authoritarianism.
