Did you link to a different tweet than you intended? You appear to be arguing that it’s “violence” for a public figure not to be able to disappear past public statements which they now regret. Her position that they should take responsibility for what they said is something most children learn pretty young.

"Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future" Yes, show me where in those words you find violence. I see someone wanted to hold the enablers of DJT accountable.

  > I see someone wanted to hold the enablers of DJT accountable. So around 40% of the American population. The left loves to talk about the right-wingers doing dog-whistles, this is one from the left. Your commentary also come across as naive or disingenuous when in those days AOC just one of several left-wing politicians and personalities calling for the creation of undesirable lists (again that 40%) to ,when the time comes, get them to pay for enabling Trump. All these within the highly violent BLM protests context.

    I asked for evidence. What was provided was insanely weak. Again, put up some evidence that is equal to the charge: show us violent rhetoric.

      " I believe injustice is a threat to the safety of all people. Because once you have a group that is marginalized and marginalized and marginalized … once someone doesn’t have access to clean water, they have no choice but to riot." AOC,2020 "Our election was hijacked. There is no question. Congress has a duty to #ProtectOurDemocracy & #FollowTheFacts." https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/864522009048494080 https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/864522009048494080 Nancy Pelosi 2017 "When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe."

But I am wasting my time here.You know it and I know it. You have your mind made up.

        1. Explanation of why people riot. No call for violence. 2. Russia interfered with our election. Not even close to a call for violence. 3. Not even close to a call for violence. Trump calls for violence? Easy: https://www.vox.com/21506029/trump-violence-tweets-racist-hate-speech https://www.vox.com/21506029/trump-violence-tweets-racist-ha... That was just the first google hit.

        A half-assed google search wont do. Give me a tweet. These are dark times when I find myself defending Donald Trump against the sycophants of powerful tech barons,consciously willingly to abandon basic democratic ideas like free speech, surrendering them to private entities whose interests are totally misaligned with the public, especially the poor. All of this, "to own the right". The US is fucked beyond repair.
