There is really no case against Trump on those grounds. The ridiculous hyperbole undermines the seriousness of the actual situation..

Censoring a sitting president who just received 70+ million votes is obviously a dramatic and extreme step, all the more so when taken by unelected oligarchs according to an opaque decision making process. There is a reason that Angela Merkel and a number of other foreign leaders have all expressed concern.

If those insurrectionists managed to murder elected officials, as many of them expressed the desire to do, you would feel no different. The Trump presidency has broken you.

Popular support for insurrection does not legitimize it.

Foreign leaders expressed concern at least multiple times throughout Trumps Presidency including concern about the storming the capitol by President supporters to whom he lied to. I totally agree that this is sketchy unprecedented action, but we are dealing here with dangerous man, who is desperate and has little or no morals. He was filmed cheering with his family to branigan's "Gloria" while the crowd was storming the capitol. Conservatives already showed they are not willing to do anything, quite contrary they are going to MSM ( you know, the same media that aparently censored them ) and prasing President's leadership and masculinity.

Reading is not your friend, is it?

Trump gave a speech that riled up his supporters, which given their already heightened emotional state, precipitated a riot. Calling this "insurrection", when the vast majority of the crowd were a bunch of bozos posing for pictures is ridiculous. It's embarrassing that you've fallen for this.

They didn't censor him, they kicked him off twitter and other social media.

Social media isn't protected speech.

Trump can still say fuck the draft and not be arrested.



Its funny that they showed up to kidnap congressmen and women with zip ties and planned to go back to work monday as if they didn't commit a serious crime.

Giuliani called for trial by combat and their folllowers attacked.

Quit making excuses, you battered wife.

Which is censorship. Whether or not it violates 1st amendment protections doesn't change what it is.

Courts have ruled however that the President's Twitter account is official government communication, and the President is therefore unable to block users without violating their 1st amendment rights. That appears to be in effect what Twitter has just done, which sets the stage for an interesting court case.
