I've now watched almost all of the "Save America March" rally. A number of the speeches I've watched more than once. The number of times Team Trump yells at the mob of Trump fanatics, white supremacists, far-right militiamen and other insurrectionists to "FIGHT!" is *staggering*.
(PS) Many Americans haven't processed yet how strange it is for "FIGHT!" to be the key—clearly *coordinated*—theme of what pretends to be a protest. There was almost *no* talk at the Save America March rally about "making your voice heard." The refrain was, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
(PS2) Trump—only one of many January 6 speakers—used the term 20 times, along with violent rhetoric throughout his speech. The crowd repeatedly started chants that used (echoed) the word. Other speakers repeatedly used it. Don's mid-rally livestream featured the word prominently.
(PS3) An obvious point that I think is nevertheless easy to miss: there was *no reason on Earth* to exhort the mob to "FIGHT!", as there was nothing they could do that would *constitute* "fighting" except literally *breaking into the Capitol* and fighting. Which is what they did.
