There should be nothing illegal about “attacking” a religion with words, all the moreso if those words are factually accurate.

Going out of your way to piss other people off is a poor idea.

You may feel that it should be legal (at least until it affects you). Other people may feel otherwise.

Absolutely ridiculous. Unless you are credibly telling people to actually go and commit violence, it is no such thing.

Trump did not "credibly tell[] people to actually go and commit violence".

He "set the stage" as it were, and people did what they did. It's really not that different from what the women did: She got people upset about Islam.

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections. But whether or not they stand strong for our country, our country. Our country has been under siege for a long time. Far longer than this four year period."

"So we are going to--we are going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we are going to the Capitol, and we are going to try and give--the Democrats are hopeless, they are never voting for anything, not even one vote but we are going to try--give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help, we're try--going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country. So let's walk down Pennsylvania Avenue."

To the USG, that's incitement—look what happened immediately after.

There aren't 25K troops in DC as I write this because Trump did not incite a coup/insurrection, they are they because he did. The reaction itself is the proof.

You may not think Trump's rally should have had that effect, but at this point, it's moot: it did.

Counterpoint: the attempted coup was gonna happen anyway, regardless of what Trump said.

I'm very weary of a country and a government in which we can be charged with "incitement" or even treason for suggesting to peacefully exercise our 1st amendment rights to dissent against it.

Directly after Rudy told the crowd “let’s have trial by combat!”, the President told his followers to march on the capitol. Then he watched them lay siege to the capitol on TV for hours before half-heartedly telling them to go home. To me, that’s credible incitement to violence.

Making factual statements about Islam is not incitement to violence. The woman did not want or ask those who dislike her remarks to get violent or lose self-control.

I'm 100% on board with charging Rudy with incitement, but the charge against Trump himself is spurious at best.

It's not incitement to call a child pedophile a child pedophile unless you approve of said child pedophile. It's really quite simple.

I think everyone knows that in this new era of US politics the president will be impeached at least once every year after his party will lose the House.
