What did Trump do, if anything, to incite violence?

This question is sincere as I'm trying to find out myself. I'm a fairly active reader of news but have only seen outrage in mainstream news outlets about the DC protests and not specific claims of what Trump did or how the protests were more violent or dangerous than the months of BLM protests last year. The attached video by JP Sears seems to suggest that Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Apple, and Google have teamed up with Liberals to censor dissent and promote that Trump is dangerous via propaganda. In the video, he shows two tweets of Trump, shown below, that he says is what the fuss is all about - is that right?

Bonus question: How are the alleged calls of violence by Trump different or worse than those in this video below?

He literally said to go peacefully. Cry babies are just looking for a reason.

And, you are ignoring that he riled them up for weeks about non-existent voter fraud and told them they would not win by being weak.

And then, he watched what they were doing on television and DID NOTHING, until those around him finally convinced him that he could be held liable for their actions.

@Joanne

Sure......

@CourtJester Oh, gee...did they kill anyone? Did they beat police officers with flagpoles? Did they disrupt the democratic process and were they calling for the overthrow of an election?

@Joanne With that reasoning; would it be okay to hold Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson liable for the black businesses burned down and looted after speeches at BLM rallies? Maybe Pelosi or Waters after what they said supporting Antifa?

Let's keep it equal here. If "go peacefully" is justification, then what they said should be complete text book insurrection.

Are the goose and gander separate?

He literally said "fight like hell". They did.

@Mooolah I fight like hell at work every day, but I’ve yet to punch a patient in the face.
Anyone taking the word “fight” in a literal sense is simply looking for something stupid to argue about. And it is stupid. And even the democrats know it.

@CourtJester Are you the decider of "stupid"? Never mind. That is not a cogent argument. That is an opinion. I can not discuss with someone who declares what "stupid" is as it can't be fixed so I would be arguing with a wall. Sorry dude. You don't work like hell as you have never been in hell. Working in America thanks to our UNIONS insulates us from hell. So..... jest forth .

@Mooolah haha. Funny stuff Unions were useful 80 years ago. Now unions fool people into paying for what federal law requires.

@CourtJester Federal law requires what the unions worked for. Federal law now embraces the protections unions struggled for . Indeed the union movement has been undone by Republican manipulation of perception. Things are regressing due to the undermining of the union movement. Union's struggle to safeguard the working class leaves Americans complacent & resting on their laurels. We are a gluttonous, hubristic lot.

Best analysis I have seen so far:

Thank you for posting this!

Wonderful LEGAL analysis . . . however :

No doubt any impeachment will involve lawyers and 'legal' arguments, but it does not involve SCOTUS (it was reported today that impeachment 2.0 will be 'headed' by the democrat President pro tempore of the Senate)

Impeachment does NOT require anything criminal -- the only requirement is whatever the joint Congress decides is impeachable.

What did dear old George III do to justify all those hateful things that spiteful Tom said about him in the Declaration?

Trump stirred up anger with false claims of election fraud, implemented a plan to interfere with the certification of electoral college votes, told people to "fight like hell" before sending them marching to the Capitol, advocated beating up protesters at his rallys (and said he would pay the legal fees), and brought white nationalism into the mainstream with comment like "very fine people" applied to white nationalists who chanted "Jews will not replace us," beat up counter-protesters, and drove a car at high speed into a crowd, killing one person and injuring many others. Trump definitely incited violence. Which is typical of cowards like him; he would NEVER put his own body on the line.

I have always expected Atheists to tell the truth about everything given their courage to tell the truth about McCarthyism.. ... I remain baffled why 129 Atheists BELIEVE FAKE NEWS and blindly hate TrumpOLINI
.....especially letting the demonRATs illegally kick off ballots our Atheist WWW.HOWIEHAWKINS.US in 19 states illegally rigged 2 primaries against Bernie 2016&2020 and pretend 5 states did not steal the election from 75 million TrumpOLINI voters ? 123 thousand extra ballots were stuffed in Pennsylvania over the total number of real voters voting in all other races....THAT IS A FACT on the official state website PA SECY STATE..... all 129 of you have proven your incompetence to sit on any jury USA....I am ashamed of the blueReds redBlues duopoly who still blame Ralph Nader for Jeb Bush crime family stealing the election from PRESIDENT Albert Gore Junior 43

From the late Carlin .... and the group could be Senate, Congress, Antifa, BLM, any far right group .... or any crowd at football, hockey, etc. Once you have a crowd with a common idea there is an inherent mob tendancy that can explode
It seems to me, a complete outsider who has no particular interest, that the stupid democrat group, through impeachment, will only serve to anger and unite the stupid republican group .... leading to deeper division in what was once a great democracy.

I would answer your questions but this site won't let me copy/paste the questions so I can reference them and answer.

Leelu Level 7 Jan 13, 2021

@Admin You posted a large paragraph with multiple questions. I wanted to copy/paste the paragraph, break them down and answer them one by one BUT though I could copy them, when I tried to right click to paste it would not give me that option. I tried several times in several ways but no option to "paste".

@Admin Thank you. I shouldn't have to do that but it worked. I replied above.
