If nothing he said could be reasonably interpreted as suggesting that people break in violently, then I fail to see where culpability attaches.
Good lord man… these people didn’t think to do this in a vacuum…
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.

You have to grasp how beemers mind works. It's all literal and black & white with him. He doesn't have the capability to understand nuance. If Trump didn't literally say the words, "Storm the Capitol!!" or "Steal Me Votes!!", he cannot conceive of the possibility that that is what Trump really means when he utters his hate speech. Christ, he virtually said, "Steal Me Votes" to Raffsenberger, and he doesn't believe it.

It is quite comical putting these 2 different statements one after the other.

How are the statements different? Trump is virtually yelling from a mountaintop what a crook he is. You refuse to believe it.

You have the aforementioned disorder when it comes to defending the behavior of anyone and everyone associated with the University of Michigan.

It’s all going to boil down to Election Day/week/month 2024.

In the seven swing states, How many republicans will hold their nose and pull the lever for trump, vs being unenthused and staying home. Many blacks were unenthused for Hillary in 2016 and did not vote.

And how many deep progressives (and Palestinian/hamas supporters), the same ones voting ‘uncommitted’ in many Dem primaries, will hold their nose and vote for Biden vs voting for RFK or Jill Stein or Cornell west, as a protest vote or,vote,of conscience.
