They didn't even fact check him lol

Yes, they did - over and over.  Mostly when he was spreading misinformation about the election process and outcome.


They banned him because he refused to attend Biden's inauguration. I posted a link to @TwitterSafety earlier where they openly admitted this.

You should click on the link and read the article.  If you already did, it would seem like you're intentionally taking it out of cont


Trump did not tell people to go out and be violent, if he did, he deserves the ban.

Are you really going to play the 'he didn't explicitly say to go be violent'?  That's so lame.

He was responsible for the "Save America/Stop the Steal Rally", scheduled to coincide with congress counting votes.

Then he hyped the event tweeting things like "it will be wild", "the country needs you to fight"

And here's what he told them right before they marched over and stormed the capital:

"And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down--

We're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol--

And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."



If we're playing by your rules, should Bernie Sanders be banned from twitter after demonizing Republicans causing some sick fuck to go out and try and execute the minority whip? There's no way anyone should be defending Trump's ban. Twitter is a private company and can do what it pleases, but I'm not going to pretend like this isn't completely bizarre and deranged. It's also what leftists were begging for over the last 4 years.

Bernie didn't incite violence.  Trump did.  Many times. So, no, I don't think Bernie should be banned from Twitter.  But if Twitter wants to ban Bernie, I think it should be the response of their users they have to worry about, not the government.


First it's Trump, then who?

Trump wasn't first, they ban tons of people for violating their terms every day.  They already explained that he would've been banned a while ago if it weren't for the fact that he was president.  Personally I wish they would've held him to the same standards as everyone else.
