    Default "Online extremists are ignoring Trump’s call for calm"

    "President Donald Trump has instructed his followers to not engage in political violence following the deadly riots on the Capitol on Jan 6. But the video in which he made the plea has barely made a dent in the groundswell of extremism that was seen last week and has proliferated online since."

    "At the root of these extremists’ continued fervor is a key observation: Trump still has not acknowledged that the election was legitimate and admitted his defeat to Biden. In his video on Wednesday, the president did not acknowledge he had lost the November election. And by not doing so, the outgoing president is seen as giving tacit approval to his followers’ plans to wage war against the political establishment."

    And Trump could end it all by just admitting the truth, but of course he can't admit he lied, regardless of the effects of his lie

    Is it any wonder why the social media vehicles still see Trump as promoting potential violence

    Trump didn't admit he had been in any way wrong, after years of lying about it, when he finally said in a brief statement that Obama is a natural-born American.
    It was just convenient to clear the decks for his presidential run.

    Um....he still has ongoing court cases, he can't say it was legitimate or he is braking the law.

    Some of you seriously need to go back to high school and quit smoking dope.

    What?

    You telling us that as long as Trump has ongoing Court cases he can't concede the election? For real? He can file a Court case every month for the rest of his life, does that mean the election isn't over, history?

    He doesn't have to concede because it doesn't matter.

    It's not like he gets to stay there if he doesn't concede and frankly that's a relatively new practice anyways, most presidents have never conceded.

    lol

    I think you would be blown away if you ever opened a history book.

    Trump is the first losing contender who has refused to concede since it became customary in the late 19th century.

    And the result wasn't even close. He must be something really special, eh?

    hilarious!! some dickhead claiming other people need to go back to high school, when he spells the word "breaking" as "braking." what a dumbfuck assclown he must be!! but thanks for the unintended laugh at your expense.

    those goons who go out of their way to attack cops or other people at mob rallies are not really any more under trump's thumb than those goons at BLM rallies who use those crowds as cover to loot and burn and throw bricks at cops are under any spell cast by BLM. same type of violent punk ass bitches who get off on being part of a violent mob. trump's rhetoric and quotes and dog whistles, and those of his cronies, pandering to the violent underbelly of his voter base have magnified the number of violent assholes at his rallies and online urging each other on, but these sorry human beings are losers and just waiting for an excuse to take it out on somebody as part of a mob.
