With that said it sounds like, For You, it is OK for the people protesting to conduct their First Amendment right to peacefully assemble but not OK for Trump Supporters First Amendment right to peacefully assemble.
The protests are organic, they are the will of the people. The Trump rally is inorganic, it is the desire of a man. That's not to say the protests carry no risk, but even with large groups they are for the most part spread out outdoors with the majority wearing masks.

Further look at the output, protests are leading to meaningful change, the Trump rally was an embarrassment.

It's not a binary call but neither is there parity.
