I have 0 trouble understanding why Twitter didn't want to be whipping up fury against democracy using their power to do so. Six days before that ban Trump had definitively crossed the line over to full-blown treason with the Reffensperger call. Two days before the ban he sat quietly, waiting and hoping a mob of his supporters whipped up by his verbal diarrhea would sieze power for him, ending democracy. Make no mistake, Twitter did exactly what they had every legal and moral obligation to do.
- hedora 1y agoI’ll just add that the quote in the comment you replied to was one of the least offensive things Trump said during that incident (if he even tweeted that). The news ran a video of him inciting a riot, etc, etc.
- delusional 1y agoThe reason he used that quote is that it was _the_ tweet that caused Twitter to ban him, according to their press release. I agree that it should be viewed in context, and twitter even says as much in that press release, but he didn't cherry pick that quote.
