He never called for violence, he never called to "breach the Capitol" he said they would "peacefully and patriotically march to the Capitol and cheer on Senators and Congressmen.....and some not so much"
But no no tell me what someone SAID Trump said instead of telling me what Trump himself said.
You've been provided with any number of Democrats calling for ACTUAL violence and making excuses for REAL riots and your response is


After he told them they were going to march to the Capitol he said
“You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength. You have to be strong,”
He mentioned fighting twenty plus times in a few minutes of speaking.
He got the crowd chanting "fight for Trump" several times and Trump egged them on.

and you had his son talking about guns and fighting and showing strngth and so on and Rudy talking about trial by combat to get the Senate to throw the election.
Trump incited a riot Lyle. This is a bipartisan view. Here's the number three House Republican:
On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.
“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.
message After he'd incited the mob he went off to watch them storm the Capitol on TV and refused to intervene or call in the national guard or do anything at all to stop the violence until his lawyers managed to convince him he'd face legal consequences if he didn't. So hours after the Capitol came under attack he issued a statement.
Now there are thousands of troops occupying the Capitol for the next week to keep the government and democracy safe from Trump and his supporters. This is quite an unusual situation Lyle, don't you think?
There is no comparison at all with anything any Democratic politician has said or done. It's just pathetic and shameful to try and whatabout an attempted fucking coup.
Also, twitter banning Trump does not mean America is about to become China. There is no way on earth that Xi would ever be banned from the Chinese version of twitter. It couldn't happen over there. In America individuals who own private businesses have the freedom to decide who can use their goods and services and even if they ban the president from using their services so far at least the president won't use the power of the government to fuck them up as would happen in China. You can stop with the hysterical bedwetting bullshit claims about censorship or the tyranny of tech firms or whatever.
In Trump's case twitter actually bent over backwards for years not to ban him even when he endlessly violated their terms of service that see thousands of people banned every day. They created a special category for him so that they could ignore their own rules. If they had banned him years ago they'd have done him a massive favour. He'd probably have been reelected if he'd been unable to shower the nation with shit every day for years.
Look Lyle, even the places you get your news from have rules regarding what you can and cannot post:
