If Trump wanted to end the violence ...

… he could do so by broadcasting an address to the nation, wherein he implores his supporters to focus their attention on getting voters out for him, instead of engaging with protestors.

He could douse the flames and help himself at the ballot box at the same time.

The problem is that he doesn’t want to end the violence. As for ‘helping him at the ballot box’, he knows he can’t win there – so there’s no point in encouraging it.

So now we’re in if I can’t have the presidency no one can, take the money and run, burn it all to the ground territory – and BTW, that’s coming from a “pResident” who is now incoherently rambling about “thugs in dark uniforms flying into Washington.”

And every Republican who has supported him, applauded him, and enabled him is complicit in this madness.

This was evidenced by him applauding Rittenhouse coming from another state, and killing 2 people and wounding 1 person

Just like trump's embrace of QAon, this POS in the WH is encouraging people to commit violence on others who do not agree with him

they need to be treated as such when we take back our government. I have said it before and i will keep on saying it. Keep filming every single MAGA hat you find out there stirring up trouble. Record them when they praise trump as the messiah and swear they will take up arms to fight for his eternal presidency. Then once sanity has been restored, the FBI should start collecting these videos and then visiting those who said it to ask what they meant. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I don't care if it was just the crazy lady who railed about Qnon or whatever it is. They need to be held accountable for their treasonous behavior as well as enabling that same behavior in others by supporting that tyrant that the rethugs put into office.

and like his hatful actions, and still support him. Then its a safe bet that they are deplorable. Hillary was 100% right about them.
