1. Imagine if this statement had been given a week ago *instead* of appearing before an angry crowd and telling them to march to the Capitol Building to "fight like hell."
2. He still hasn't acknowledged that Biden is the legitimate winner of a fair election.
3. It took Trump 7 days and an impeachment to unequivocally condemn the violence without riling up angry supporters in the next breath.
4. Trump's complaints about censorship rely on a lack of understanding about what he and others were deplatformed for. They are disingenuous.
5. For all of that, hopefully this video will help deescalate the anger of his supporters enough to save some lives. That's how low the bar is right now. "Not actively promoting violence in his name" is a step forward.
6. It's vital for the health of this nation that Donald Trump is convicted in the Senate, barred from future offices, and that he faces the full legal consequences of his crimes. Unity demands justice.
7. Every Republican not on the right side of this can STFU about the constitution and the rule of law for all time. We see you for what you are.
And those are my thoughts.

Yes please be peaceful as these election stealers help socialists take over the country to remove your rights and brainwash your children and destroy America. Don't let the extreme rhetoric of the Left bait you into patriotic action.
