And I think the Nazis had a list of a lot of legitimate sounding grievances, too. So I guess we just can't judge.
I'm sorry: one side doesn't get to ignore due process of law and try and overrun Congress, and then continue in the next days to make violent threats. If that can't be controlled on a platform, it's not surprising others don't want to have business relationships with that platform.
People charged the Capitol screaming for Pence's head. Then the next day, we have Lin Wood (whom Trump has repeatedly amplified) on Parler saying "Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST." Is this maybe out of bounds? Do we not think there's any chance that this call for violence might be heeded?
