So you decided to go with the both sides argument? Which side had the president of the United States actively inciting riots?

Nathanba 6y ago
there is only one side with a president. If you had asked differently, you couldnt be so biased anymore because many many democrat politicians were quite explicitly encouraging more riots and even harassment of politicians. While police stations were burned down. Meanwhile a bunch of Trump supporters casually walked into the senate laughing and smiling and giving thumbs up to the camera. If you cant see which one is worse, nobody can help you

  Are you fucking kidding me? They were chanting "Hang Pence", they had guns, they killed a police officer, they setup a fucking gallows. They were seeking hostages and a few guards and chair barricade were the only thing preventing them from stopping the certification process for the the first time in our countries history. Are you really this disconnected from what is actually happening right now or do you have you head so far up your ass that you can't see the difference between civil rights protests and an armed coup at the capitol of the United States?

Neither Biden nor Trump actively incited riots. Though both were wishy washy about their respective riots, generally supporting "protestors" and giving generic statements disavowing violence.

  You're wrong. Trump and the other speakers at that rally specifically told the people there to march down to the capitol. He specifically told them to hold Pence accountable, which resulted in lynch mobs roaming the halls. Trump refused to call in the guard and his own cabinet has said that he was happy about what was happening inside the capitol. Pence and Pelosi had to override him in order to get support. Trump told the the protestors he loved them and that they were special people after restating the election was rigged and got himself suspended from Twitter. Trump didn't disavow the protests until his cabinet handed him a speach and forced him to read it in what has to be the first presidential hostage video in history. He then proceeded to back peddle and get himself banned from Twitter. You can take your both sides centrist bullshit and fuck off.

    None of what you said is incitement to riots, so I'm a bit confused why you are saying I'm wrong given you don't seem to disagree with me. :S Also, he never disavowed the protestors, just the people who were breaking in and being violent (who were a small minority). And he certainly didn't "get himself banned from Twitter" by "back peddling" given he just said: > The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!! And > To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

      "March down to the capitol" "We are coming for you" "We will never take this country back with weakness" "Trial by combat" I don't know if you are being intentionally obtuse and trolling or just really this dense. Trump, his son, and Rudy spent hours whipping that crowd into a frenzy and then directed them towards the Capitol. This look like a small minority to you? https://teddit.net/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kucaz0/the_moment_officer_brian_sicknick_is_dragged_into/ https://teddit.net/r/PublicFreakout/comments/kucaz0/the_mome... That officer was beaten to death by an American flag surrounded by thousands of trump supporters, who sang fucking songs and watched. I don't know what disgusts me more, that video or your smarmy dismissive attitude.

        Only "trial by combat" could be considered incitement to violence and I don't believe that was said by Trump. > That officer was beaten to death by an American flag surrounded by thousands of trump supporters, who sang fucking songs and watched. Most of them wouldn't have been able to see anything. And yes, 10 people is a tiny minority of a crowd of a hundred thousand. Go and have a look at some full raw footage/stream (you're looking for videos at 40+ minutes long) to get an idea of what most people were doing. Also, I' appreciate it if you kept the personal attacks to a minumum, they do you no favours.
