Your substance is paranoia at best.
The court ruled that there are some things that only the president can do and not be prosecuted for. The proper answer is "no duh". If you genuinely find that decision disturbing, you are just a ridiculous person.

When it's the attempted murder of the vice president, yes. When it's a tons of people looting from stores, no. It's like saying someone never speeds when driving because they've never gotten a speeding ticket. Some things are far more enforced (like attempted murder of the vice president) while other things are not nearly as enforced.
You know perfectly well that wasn't all the ruling said and that isn't the problem people have with it.

Christian Nationalism: If he doesn't force me to go to church as a non-believer and pay a Sunday attendance tax and just allows 'house Christians' to exist it wouldn't impact most people's lives that much.
Canceling climate change policy: Name a Republican who isn't Peter Zeihan who believes in climate change, I mean I do(which is why I am an independent), but only to react to it as a crisis and to maximize US preparations for it and the whole little finger chaos is a ladder thing so that the US can use it to increase in power via population increases, possibly land.
Fire the Civil service, etc. Andrew Jackson did the same thing so it isn't unprecedented, it just would limit US policy from being super dynamic, but yes it can do some damage.
Massive deportations: Impossible too many people.
Abortion is illegal: The Supreme Court will get to decide that one, and I doubt they will make it completely illegal. Also, Trump himself is wisely washy on the subject.
Heck, even their Greenland policy is too tamed. Even Biden and or the Republicans likely have a plan to threaten to invade Greenland in case the EU doesn't play ball with Ukraine/Russia, Taiwan/China, and Israel/Iran.
It’s a game of thrones reference. Basically means when times are chaotic you can increase in power more easily.
So anyways...

Hundreds got arrested for looting BLM.
AP tally: Arrests at widespread US protests hit 10,000
PHOENIX (AP) — More than 10,000 people have been arrested in protests decrying racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd's death, according to an Associated Press tally of known arrests across the U.S.
apnews.com
There was about 11,000 different BLM marches. 3.7% of those rally site had looting and/ property damage over the 6mth period. Meaning that 10,500 rallies had NO looting whatsoever. This is includes the first nights of rallies that were definitely more violent
Trump deliberately said the protest were dangerous. Most were not. Some were only ever dangerous only those first nights
I mean, if we're gonna play the humanitarian card, it's awful funny we're concerned about a couple hundred looters and the maybe couple million worth of damage inflicted by looting...but not the few thousand injured (some life-threateningly) by cops, or the few billions worth of damage and property loss caused by cops shooting up urban cores, firing pyrotechnic grenades everywhere, confiscating (and destroying) protestors' personal possessions without probable cause or remuneration, and hosing entire cities down with chemical weapons.
As someone who actually lives in the Louisville metro area, I can tell you firsthand...yeah, protestors smashed a couple windows and stole some shit. LMPD, on the other hand, tore the city a new asshole.
Literally the metric I've made a point of calling bullshit over and over, because virtually no cause that extends beyond two protest "events" is going to have a violent majority.
Or to put it another way, out of election protest events on Jan 6, 2021 in Washington, DC a majority were peaceful. Which is I think is more obviously bullshit since we all watched J6 unfold live on the news, but there was a rally, a march, and then the attack on the Capitol, so three events of which only one was violent.
Sure, but there are significant minorities and insignificant minorities. Your examples above would come to 3.7% vs 33.3%.
And BLM took over a 6 blocks of a city for a month. Here's the looting from one night in Chicago from local news:Hundreds got arrested for looting BLM.

It gets a lot closer if I get to count J6 election protests nationwide, and not just in the one city that had an event turn violent. Even more so if I am allowed to include all protests of the 2020 election. My whole point was that J6 in DC itself is "mostly peaceful" by that metric (as a demonstration why the metric is bullshit), not that J6 in DC was as "mostly peaceful" as several months of BLM events.
BLM 2020 shows all the problems with that measure though - basically you have a bunch of the largest events that turned into riots with lots of looting et al and then a lot of that dies down in a few days when there's less easy targets left and law enforcement has escalated. Then until you run out of protesters every day onward just lowers the percentage. And tiny events where a couple dozen people with signs rally and no one really does anything either way, well those are peaceful events to lower the percentage further.
Great
So this did not happen in MOST cities.
Because that's how the word most works
Hey I'll get on board for this, no take backsies!
