That is messed up.
As the days go by this hole is getting deeper and deeper.

On the Trump in the bunker stuff... those protestors were not getting anywhere near the WH last Summer and the ones who were at the gates weren't even being violent. The violence was elsewhere in the city. The White House was also properly fortified and defended and it had the necessary personnel around the perimeter. They even used severe force to clear out the peaceful protestors outside the WH so that he could do a photo op holding a bible outside a church. These situations aren't comparable.
Reports coming out today that some of these guys in the crowd had maps of the tunnels under the capitol and had a lot more planned than they managed to pull off. Worrying stuff.
I was reading back having a laugh at some posts and reread your post and do you know you might actually have hit on something there. Why was Trump not ushered away to safety like he was during the blm protest? This is the president we are talking about, left out in the open while mayhem erupted. Noone finds that odd?
... and no I don't think the answer is the bodyguards knew they were cool. If it is they all need to be fired.
Just another oddity in a day full of the bizarre.

This
He doubled down on it and this riot/insurrection happened because of it.
And to add, this didn't start last week. He was planting seeds all over social media. Getting everyone pumped for his big day that backfired spectacularly.

Yes but your coming from a point of view of he didn't incite. Me and it seems the majority disagree with this. So while you say censorship, I would argue its perfectly valid back because his words are causing divide, violence and death, not to mention undermining and embarrassing the country he represents.
He violated their rules he paid the price. Simples.

This too. He knew exactly what he was doing and saying and more importantly where and when.
Why was he even having a 'rally' that day? Why did it have to be where it was? it's like a row of dominos and all you have to do is touch the first one for them all to fall in line.

he's the President of the USA. His words have more meaning and value than some other lesser person. And he is supposed to be above this stuff.
I feel a few are not understanding this and brushing it under the carpet also.

@monkey
4. It may be that the far right groups who staged the assault were motivated by Trumps claims of a phoney election
That thought alone should be enough for alarm bells imo.
