- ezekg 6y agoNot on FB, but Pelosi in particular fueled the flame of civil unrest, err... "peaceful protests", more than a few times. There were many others around that time who were fanning the flame, on both sides. But nobody was held accountable then, and certainly nobody was banned, so it's concerning that POTUS is banned across social media for this, and the damages were much less this time. I'm not a fan of censorship like this, regardless of the side. It controls the narrative and stifles free speech through discord.

- ezekg 6y agoI never said it was. And I'm not condoning what happened in the slightest (even if I do agree that the government no longer represents the people). But destroying and looting small businesses is not a constitutional right either, but that behavior wasn't denounced en mass like the behavior at the Capitol; rather, the former was encouraged by politicians, the media, celebrities, and even the public. It's a double standard. We should hold all people to the same standard regardless of their political affiliation. I personally think it's a bad precedent to ban POTUS, but alas.
