One party literally tried a violent coup. The leading contender for said party is openly declaring the intention to overturn the constitution and jail his opponents.
The current party in power explicitly supported groups of protesters who left a trail of broken windows and looted merchandise.
See, it's easy to characterize a political ideology around the worst of them.
The current party in power repeatedly said that rioting != valid protest and nominated an aggressively boring candidate for president instead of a left-wing ideologue. The current party in power is still fundamentally controlled by its centrists; the other got taken over by its fringe.
And nothing that Democrats have done comes close to Republicans failing to impeach Trump, supporting his efforts to overturn election, etc.
I'm insulted you think the rest of us are too stupid to easily spot the differences or something
edit: what does "in power" currently mean anyways? One party controls the executive branch, the other the legislative.

I'd choose American democracy over windows

Impromptu insurrection and looting are not equivalent in severity.
