Protestors storm capital

“Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,” Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.

McCarthy insisted that the rioters were Trump’s supporters and begged Trump to call them off.


This exchange demonstrates that Trump could not care less that it was not a peaceful demonstration, and he did not act in a timely fashion to call off the insurrectionists.
That's not what I asked... Where did he tell people to storm the Capitol like you claim.

"Trump was only urging his supporters to show up on the 6th of January for months."

Provide quotes... Where did he urge violence? Where did he urge them to do anything illegal? Why are you not answering the question?
 
And can we PLEASE change the thread title? Nobody attacked a capital, this is embarrassing... If you all want to act smart at least understand basic grammar.

Capital can be a noun or an adjective. Capital can refer to uppercase letters, accumulated wealth, or the city that serves as the seat of a country’s or state’s government.
A capitol is a building in which the legislative body of government meets.
In the United States, the Capitol is a building in Washington in which the US Congress meets.

 
Still waiting for quotes Mr. Fear Monger
Hahaha, I love it….

Did you notice that the Imperial College study that predicted up to 2 million American deaths, in its worse case models, was the study that Trump and his team decided they would use as their guideline on how to respond to the virus? And that they announced they would use its findings as their guide. When they made that announcement, were they fear mongering? By your interpretation, yes, Trump and company were fear mongering. Just a wild guess, but I’ll bet the White House adopting the Imperial College study, its dire warnings, and announcing they took the findings seriously, would have a greater impact on the American public than Red posting to a sports forum.

In hindsight, it’s all on the record. On this forum, only one person expressed being frightened by the Imperial College report. Only one person kept calling the posting of that report a form of fear mongering, even though the Trump team embraced that very report, and told the public. You were that person who kept expressing how frightened he was. If only you had someone, anyone, in your life, who could have held your hand and eased your fear when you most needed to be comforted.

We’re you that terrified of dying? Are you the cowardly lion? Do you not know that no man knows the time and place, and that nobody escapes alive?

Why were you even scared at all? If 2 million Americans had died, what were the odds that you would die from Covid? At any rate, don’t you know the only thing you have to fear is fear itself? The choice to be afraid is your’s alone, and you chose to be afraid, very afraid. And yet, here you are, alive and well.

So, Trump was fear mongering is the conclusion born of your logic. Well yes, actually, that is exactly what he is. From the day he descended the escalator in Trump Tower and told us all to be very afraid of Mexicans. That’s what demagogues do. Find what scares people, create scapegoats, and use that fear to best advantage. Again and again and again Trump has appealed to the fear in the hearts of his followers.

And you did the same on this forum. Reminded us again and again that the study would scare people. And by stating as much over and over and over, you were in fact scare mongering. All I did was publish a scientific study used by the White House. On the other hand, there you were, actively working to scare forum members, actively telling them over and over that the report was scary, lol. ! Isn’t it funny how that works? The people who complain the loudest about the behavior of others are the very people most likely to commit that very behavior. And so you did, and continue to do.

The old switch the subject. You wasted your time as that's not the topic so I didn't read past the first sentence. Answer the question. Provide quotes of Trump inciting a riot.

You can't can you?

…the Age of Trump and its aftermath resemble a science fiction dystopia where people exist in their own personal realities, through a type of experience machine that connects them to others who believe the same things — however untrue or fantastical they may be. That hive-mind has taken shape around us in the form of TrumpWorld and the MAGAverse.

….belief in the Big Lie shows little sign of dissipating. The negative implications are many: Democracy is undermined when there is no shared understanding of basic facts and empirical reality; political violence becomes seen as acceptable when a Democratic administration is viewed by Trumpists and neofascists as illegitimate; any notion of the common good and shared public interest becomes impossible, which in turn makes the neofascist movement and its "solutions" more attractive to potential followers.

In total, the 30 percent of Americans who have been propagandized by the right-wing have abandoned the critical thinking skills and decision-making abilities required of responsible citizens in a healthy democracy.
 
Uh. Ohhhhh

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said this week the number of 2020 general election ballots “do not match” the ballot totals documented by Maricopa County. But she also said that she’s uncertain how wide the apparent discrepancy is.

“They haven’t released a number yet, if you will, however, we do know that those numbers do not match with Maricopa County at this point,” Fann, a Republican, told KTAR News 92.3 FM’s The Mike Broomhead Show.
