This is an even more egregious incitement to violence than what got Trump banned from Twitter.
On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if the Capitol police had responded with appropriate force there would have been more deaths, but there would not have been the chance of a repeat. Right now on Parler, the same people are planning more activities in the 16th, 17th, and 19th because they view the activities on the 6th as a rousing success.
The difference between Bigspenders post and 45s encitement to violence is that 5 people are dead due to what the president of the United States said but there will be zero deaths caused by Bigspenders post.
Days in advance of the 6th I had predicted, in my circle of friends, that there would be 20 to 40 deaths.
Luckily I was wrong, all the mob had going for them was ignorance, Confederate flags and a zip tie (I'm not including the pipe bombs spread about town or the Molotov cocktails and firearms found in the vehicle).
Further bloodshed was prevented by the capital police who failed miserably at their only job.
I hope the ignorati have got it out of their system and have learned a lesson, I truly do.
But if not, Washington DC will be prepared should they try anything else and the response will be swift and a exhibit "peaceful BLM March" levels of appropriate.
