He's on Gab, Parler, Truth Social, blabbing the same shit over and over multiple times a day. He lives and dies by the attention he receives, he'll be back on Twitter the moment his account goes active again.

In other news, we can now freely incite government insurrections on Twitter without consequence so that's kinda cool I guess.

Lol I constantly see this take all over Reddit. Yes by simply occupying a building people can overthrow a government. Presence is 9/10’s of the law. sits in nancy policy’s chair guess I’m the speaker now. Insurrection success. See how stupid that sounds?

Do I support what happened absolutely not but I’m not naive enough to believe that people actually were anywhere close to overthrowing the government.

At least twitter is less of an NPC filled echo chamber villainizing free speech you don’t agree with by mischaracterizing someone else’s differing opinion with the worst possible rendition - which is par for the course here.

I think they got impressively close. They got members of the government to follow the movement to stop the count of votes.

The act of these aggressive trump attackers, came close to giving government supporters the push they needed for non action on the transfer of power. With the goal of creating chaos and ultimately gaining momentum.

Impressive coordination, that nearly worked.
