    He’s condemning any violence and asking for it to stop. Sure he may have said those things but he still hasn’t incited any violence which is why he got impeached. It seems to be a bogus claim just to get him out, and his dumb ass followers are making it easy to do. I am just going by logic and facts, not by maybes.

    By the sounds of it, the US needs to protest for a different reason - to get a competent person in office. Trump is a moron in it for himself, and Biden is just a puppet/messenger for the corrupt people that have been running the country for decades. You’ve got the smartest people on the planet in your country and these are the 2 dinks you land on. It’s kind of ridiculous.

      That’s literally what he is doing by saying those things.

      He’s condemning any violence and asking for it to stop.

      When ?

      I am just going by logic and facts, not by maybes.

      It is a fact that communication involves much more than what a basic transcript could make people understand. What you don’t say matters as much as what you say. Context matters also. The fact is, he encouraged the radicalisation of his voters. By refusing to acknowledge that the racism (which he took part in) and white supremacy, he encouraged it. Any sane person would have asked them to stop. But he didn’t, even when asked to, so his base took it as him supporting them (because there is no way to do so explicitly).

      You’ve got the smartest people on the planet in your country

      That’s true, but only because I’m french :p.

        How though? Not one time did he say to do anything violent. He said march in numbers, and show strength. If a bunch of people take that as “STORM THE CAPITOL”, that’s not his problem. I am looking at his words in quotes and I just don’t see it.

        He condemned them on Twitter before he got banned believe it or not. This is fact.

        French as in not in the US?
