Responsible is a broad term.
What about the glowies in the crowd that instigated and encouraged bad behaviour?
Well no. I’m not being snarky.
Good grief…. He wanted NG there and Pelosi said no. The FBI did as much as possiable to encourage it, they still won’t say how many fbi were there. The police opened doors and invited them in, gave tours. The media refused to play the part where Trump said to be peaceful and no violence. You’re blind as a bat. And apparently willfully.
But then what responsibility does Trump have if you’re giving the instigators a pass. Didn’t you just say that Trump instigated it? Why is he any more responsible than the “glowies”?
If Kyle Rittenhouse had stayed home from Kenosha, those thugs would still be alive. But that doesn't mean he's criminally responsible for their death.
Instigators in the crowd actually egging people on to go into the Capitol, get violent, etcetera, nope. They’re not responsible because the people should have known better. But Trump is responsible because he signaled the Trumpers with his secret language to do violence on his behalf. So basically, when he tells people to “protest peacefully” they knew that means violently. And stay between the ropes when you take your own unguided unsanctioned trespassing tour of the Capitol.
But you just say it. You really don’t even make a case for it. And you said you think it’s self evident. If it’s self evident, could it be that it’s bias rather than something rational? If it’s self evident, isn’t it just instinct telling you it’s true? Instinct works exactly like bias. And what this kind of instinct is, is nurture. It’s basically your world view. How accurate is that?
