You're leaving out the fact that those tweets were sent two days after an insurrection in which Trump used Twitter to target the Vice President with a mob. In the days thereafter, Trump was being urged to cool things down because tensions were still red hot. Instead, he refused to back off the very narrative that got people fired up enough to literally assault our democratic process. There was a legitimate worry that he was still using Twitter to signal to his supporters (who again, had just sacked the capitol) that they should attack the inauguration of Joe Biden next. That was the real and legitimate concern at the time.
How many insurrections are you willing to let Trump coordinate on your platform? Two? More?
- NDizzle 5y agoInsurrection? The most armed civilian segment in the entire world, that didn't bring their guns to this fantastic insurrection event?! The same group who was let into various private chambers, for maximum effect, sometimes walking so close to single file that it would bring a tear to a second grade teachers eye... If that's your definition of insurrection, there can be infinity more of them on my platform.
- ModernMech 5y agoMy definition of an insurrection is a coordinated violent movement intended to overthrow the government. Pay attention during the Jan 6 committee hearings next month and then get back to me, because it appears you haven’t really been paying attention to the developments on that front if you believe guns weren’t brought on Jan 6.
