One interpretation is that his supporters should feel confident attacking the inauguration knowing he won’t be there to be injured.
They are already openly planning violence: https://twitter.com/slpng_giants/status/1347609631527489537?...
What? Is this pre-crime we’re getting into now?
What the hell happened to us?

He hasn’t been charged with anything, so no. I would like to think Twitter would ban any public figure who appears to be inciting a second terrorist attack mere days after inciting a first one.

There's blood and bullet holes in the halls of Congress! Principles of neutrality and restraint fly out the window when the seat of government is attacked by a violent mob. We can't just keep our fingers crossed that they don't mean it when they say they're coming back.
What is a government without neutrality.

Not much more than a big gorilla with a lot of guns. That's why maintaining the principles of neutrality is so important - and why we must react so severely when someone breaches the principles of neutrality to try and install their preferred politicians into power.
>They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!
That's pretty clearly a veiled threat taken in light of all his other statements and the violence from just days ago.
I think it’s clear about controlling the narrative.
In the end what this will do is kickstart more of an echochamber on another service, they’ll diverge and we’ll get people in one camp on one platform, the other camp in the other. Except they’ll be more extreme on both sides as moderates tail off.
