WE ALL SAW WHAT TRUMP DID ON JAN 6
He reminded people to be peaceful and refrain from violence?
https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1346912780700577792
He said that on twitter, while advocating for insurrection in a live speech. If he cared that much he would've gone on a public speech too, but that would've actually been heard by the target demographic
Sorry, but that's misinformation. He also said it in his speech, but they left that part out at the impeachment trial.
Classic Trump supporter here, posting sources that contradict their point as supporting their point because, out of eight statements, one weakly suggested peace while the other seven weakly suggested insurrection.
This is how con men win over the critical thinking challenged crowd.
Right, because critical thinking equals defending the majority opinion.
Critical thinking means reading an article with one point that agrees with your stance and seven points that contradict it and realizing it doesn't actually support your argument.
Critical thinking means you question what you read, hear, think, write, and say. If you were capable of critical thought, you'd have read your previous comment and realized it doesn't actually address my comment at all. It just makes an unrelated point. But you're not capable of even primary school level feats of cognition yet you still vote, and people like you are why American democracy is circling the drain. You just. Don't. Think.
Bro. You're in the minority here, and you've made bad takes on every subthread. I don't have the energy to argue with you. You're on a predominantly leftist social media platform. No one here agrees with you.
Yes, please do tell me how you really feel about minorities.
Did you read the entire page?
Which of these statements strikes you as more of an incitement to violence, than, say, "I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country." or "This is a movement, I’m telling you, they’re not going to stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. And everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not."?
id like to piggy back, youre really stupid and i hate you. i have no extra argument as everyone has shown you everything you need to see its obvious you treat reality like religion where your opinion intrinsically holds truth.
the best part of reality is despite what you want to believe, trump still incited violence and insurrection. your opinion on the matter doesnt change the reality. this isnt christianity this is real life.
I’m sorry you feel that way. Must be rough.
its probably more rough to boot lick someone that doesn't like you
I'm assuming you still think your father is coming back too?
Neither. You're looking for controversy or "muh hypocrisy" where it doesn't exist.
So you’re saying there’s no objective standard for what consists incitement of violence, it’s just a matter of what’s politically expedient.
Yeah, seriously, one time he told everyone to remain peaceful. That totally contradicts every other time he almost explicitly called for violence! And certainly, he didn't want it to happen, because as we all saw he swooped in immediately when they started to attacking the capitol to tell them to stop, instead of disappearing for an hour and a half.
Stop being such an easily fooled sheep. The proof is in the pudding: his cultists who were in the capitol that day nearly universally said they were there because Trump wanted them to be there. From their own fucking mouths, and you're still trying to maintain that Trump wasn't instrumental in making that happen.
Hours after he told them to go to the Capitol building and "fight like hell".
