No, he took it several steps further. He told them where to go: the Capitol. He told them when to go: right now. He told them that they had won the election, but that it was being stolen at the Capitol right now.

That is perfectly normal and nothing wrong with any of it. He told them to go peacefully protest.

Bernie Sanders told people that the republicans were deliberately killing people with their policy on the healthcare bill at the time. One of his supporters went and got a gun and shot up a bunch of republican congressmen and politicians  at a baseball game, and specifically quoted Bernie and his statements as the reason why he did it. Strangely, I never hear any democrats talking about how Bernie Sanders LED an insurrection.

They heard what he wanted them to hear..

Clearly not. 

The vast majority went peacefully and then home peacefully. 

The worst offenders that day planned for the violence ahead of time.

True, the vast majority protested and had no interest in violence.  It literally was a 'mostly peaceful' protest :)

However, human nature gets in the way. We focus on the outlier, the extremes. 98% of the crowd was peaceful and did little else other than occupy space. Do we focus on the average day.. where nothing happens or that one time when it was abnormally cold, hot, rainy, snowy, etc? Research shows that we irrationally focus on that one day out of 3650 (10 years) as an example.

Of course. as you say, human nature to focus on the unusual rather than the usual

and so as a result.. the media in an effort to get clicks, ratings, and revenues.. focuses on the unusual. If their story was that thousands stood there, yelled, screamed, but mostly occupied space, who reads this? Additionally, folks crave style over substance. So they focus on the unusual and add dramatic flair.. this gets you ratings. ESPN radio did a test study once. For 3 days.. the hosts did nothing but break down games, stats, etc. No opinions. X player rushed for 105 yards, 45 of which was on 2nd down, and so on. Ratings went down 85%. The next 3 days.. they did nothing but "hot takes". Lots of opinions, predictions, social commentary.. Ratings more than recovered.

Yes it is. You should read about your word of the day yesterday, cognitive dissonance. You've displayed classic signs of denial every day since I've joined.

You ONLY BELIEVE ^this because your information is incomplete and very flawed.

SO MANY things YOU DON'T KNOW.

OTOH, I have MANY SOURCES and that's how I know the ONLY PLACES you get YOURS.

Fighting against someone's "influence in our politics" is not a call to violence.

It depends on the CONTEXT of "fighting."

If you're talking to an armed mob wearing body armor and invoke drastic illegal repercussions as reasons to fight, it is entirely clear that physical violence is the  subject.

That would be fun to watch, a fight between a man and a horse

Here's what you posted:

Nothing about  violence.

Good afternoon, dipshit.  

Did you check the video clip? 

"ARE YOU READY TO FIGHT???"

That means the b*tch is an insurrectionist and should be thrown in the slammer, immediately.

Revoking its citizenship should also be on the table.

Lol.  Ok. Sure.

The Rules for Liberal tactics:

  1. If they can't refute the content, attack the source.
  2. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster.
  3. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened.
  4. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler.
  5. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition.
  6. If they are wrong, blame the opponent.
  7. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa.
  8. If all else fails, just be angry.

Was she talking to an armed mob wearing body armor telling people to march to the Capitol and "stop the steal"?

Context matters.

How does that context matter?

The folks Trump was talking to were at a peaceful rally. They were not a mob, nor "armed" anymore than you could presume about anyone anywhere else.

1. Oh, you do "quote" shit but it's always wrong. lol

2. She was galvanizing her minions for a fight. This was a war cry and the b*tch needs to be thrown in the slammer.

AOC's claim to fame before now was her stupidity. Now she's adding violent rhetoric to her already sad repertoire? 

Makes sense, I guess.

If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Ewwww.

She's ok to look at, but you'd definitely wanna keep the chatter to a minimum.

Me: "Sorry, I don't speak English, I'm actually a deaf mute. I still appreciate music, but the only way I can sense it is if you hum a tune while you 'speak into the microphone', Kamala-style."

Politicians use words such as fight, battle, conflict, war. etc. but do not actually want their supporters to engage in a violent, armed conflict. It is also interesting how politicos decide when to be so literal and when not be. Its like they are cherry picking.. nahh.. that can't be.
