@lmur,
Only partly tongue in cheek, it seems to me that there's been two attempted coups already:
- the mass lies about election fraud & Trumps likely multiple phone calls like the one to the Georgia SOS (as an attempt to overthrow the election), but rejected by: all the courts, and all the states (even the Republican ones, and even with their multiple recounts)
- the Storming of Capital Hill
In any event, social media have suspended people before for inciting violence or hatred. It's odd for people to come out and defend a person for doing so, just because of his office or rank - those who should be held more accountable, due to their office, sway and influence. As this particular incitement was done by a party of people, each person that contributed should be banned, even if temporarily.
In relation to the ability of the mob to invade your Capitol Hill - I'm incredibly surprised the police weren't more prepared - I thought it likely from the moment Trump said they were going to protest and said "Be there. It's going to be wild"...and then multiple people kept inciting. So the likelihood of a riot was very high....and yet it seems like the police didn't bother properly preparing for that eventuality...because they were white? I mean, it is the only conclusion I can draw, given how predictable the events that unfolded were.
