Have you actually read what the average twitter user posts? Almost all of what I see on there is magnitudes worse than anything I've seen Trump post, and yet there's no action against those users... This is clearly partisan politics. The ban hammer is not applied equally. I see unbelievable insults, direct calls for violence (from both sides), acrimonious, spiteful and hateful posts - with zero consequences. But Trump posts "go home peacefully" and he's banned? I don't know about you, but I've actually spent a lot of time reading Trump's Twitter feed. While I'm personally embarrassed about his lack of executive poise, and I disagree with most of what I've read, I've never seen anything that would come close to a call for violence, or many of the other things he's been accused of. Happy to read examples if you have some and I've just missed it.

If you interpret the situation in this manner, you really need to take a break from politics and try to engage into some activity that helps you develop some basic common sense. Stop thinking about political parties, and think about individuals, their role in society, their influence and the consequences of their actions. Sending a mob of radicalized people with mental issues to kidnap senators is a bad decision and he got rightfully punished for it.

  > Sending a mob of radicalized people with mental issues to kidnap senators is a bad decision and he got rightfully punished for it. Yes! I'm not familiar with the situation. Can we have a due process like our justice system to assign blame? Should I just take your word (and the word of trump opposition)? Also, isn't it weird that, you claim, he is the leader of the riot into Capitol, and the punishment is being banned from social media?? Should this be like jailed for life or something?

    Sure, but if he was allowed to continue, there would be no justice system.

      How do we handle a case where a mass shooter keep shooting people? You get a police to arrest the aggressor first and get them to court. We can simply get a police to issue an arrest, ban him from social network, get him to court later. I don't think this problem is particularly hard. Not sure why a lot of people seem to think that this is impossible to resolve through legal system. Trump is leading the riot/coup. He should be arrested immediately, no? (In some countries, that's a death sentence.) It's either (1) Trump isn't really leading the riot/coup or (2) leading the riot/coup isn't unlawful. I'm confused on this contradiction of reality. Somebody is lying here.

  > Sending a mob of radicalized people with mental issues to kidnap senators is a bad decision and he got rightfully punished for it. Can you please show me specifically where he did this? If not, it may be time for you to take a break from politics as well, and try to view the situation objectively. I'm very open to having my bias, if any, pointed out. If you can show me anywhere where the president did what you claim, I'd be very interested.
