You play dishonest games, both with respect to statistics (which you spout but never cite)
Any time you want to question any stats presented, please speak up. I will be more than happy to provide links regarding population totals, vote tallies, etc. If you ask nicely, I will even do the math for you.
It is not a question of "pinpointing" words in Trump's January 6 exhortations to his followers , it is about the totality of circumstances that led to the riot, and Trump's refusal to take responsibility in its aftermath.
These are your posts, no?
Well, there was the additional component of sedition encouraged by the President of the United States.
I could care less that less physical damage was done to the Capitol building than to a storefront looted and burned in a BLM riot. The latter is criminal behavior, the former violent sedition urged on by the President. It is completely unacceptable.
Trump's actions in encouraging a mob to descend on the Capitol leaving wreckage and five deaths in its wake amount to sedition.
So yes, it is a question of pinpointing since you offered the premise on multiple occasions that Trump's words were seditious. If you possessed a shred of integrity, you would walk back those words and acknowledge that there was nothing even remotely seditious in Trump's speech. That is,
if you possessed a shred of integrity.
I have explained in detail this totality of circumstances that lead me to conclude that Trump did grave damage to the nation.
You have provided your conclusion. But you have failed utterly in providing truthful premises to support that conclusion. (See: Logical Fallacies - Begging the Question)
He indeed, over course of several weeks, baited and misled his followers with phony charges (the election was not "stolen")
At least half a dozen States have violated their own election laws and have certified results that were illegally obtained. And in doing so, they have violated the US Constitution. That is a fact. Your own Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and my own State of Georgia being chief offenders.
and false hopes that Pence could be pressured into taking unconstitutional actions to overturn a free and fair election.
The hope was not false. Pence did indeed have the authority under the Constitution to request State Legislatures confirm their electors. The election was not free and fair. And his request would not have overturned the election. Four falsehoods in one clause - you've outdone yourself.
His crowd reacted predictably and turned into a mob.
The crowd listening to Trump speak these words about Pence were still gathered at the Ellipse when windows inside the Capitol were being broken.
