THREAD - My thoughts on what happened at the Capitol.
Please read EVERYTHING before commenting.
The violence we saw was unacceptable and must be fully condemned. It has no place in a democracy.
Those committing violence should spend a long time in prison.
1/
I have seen a dangerous thing happen. There has been a cult forming around Trump, idolizing him, even though he hasn't done particularly much for Conservatives.
This Trump idolatry is crazy and un-Christian.
This Trump worship has led to insane conspiracy theories.
2/
These conspiracy theories include people think Trump is messaging his supporters in weird cryptic signals etc. Absolute crazy stuff that has been proven to be false
People who fell for this cult were egged on by Trump and the conspiracy theories when they stormed the Capitol
3/
I've seen sickening images of police officers being beaten by these Trump supporters when they stormed the Capitol and Trump and others around him like Rudy Giuliani bears responsibility for this.
They should be held accountable.
4/
We also know that a far-left activist took part in the storming of the Capitol and was seen on video inciting violence.
CNN shamefully had him on as a special guest after what happened...
Will there be calls for CNN to be canceled?
5/
There has also been a stark contrast to how media reported the storming of the Capitol compared with the riots that took place during 2020.
Why didn't the media and the left also condemn the riots in 2020?
6/
In the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol we are seeing very dangerous things happening.
The left is using what happened as an excuse to purge all Conservatives political dissidents, which is extremely dangerous to democracy.
7/
We have seen Big Tech, media and the left using this as an opportunity to stifle free speech and purge Conservatives in the name of "preserving democracy"
In fact they are destroying democracy.
In a democracy all opinions must be allowed, even vile opinions.
8/
That's the only way democracy works. If you suddenly start censoring people because they are a "threat to democracy" you become the authoritarian one. You put yourself as the judge of what is allowed and not allowed.
And that's how you ACTUALLY descend into authoritarianism.
9/
What we are seeing now with the left and Big Corporations purging people is un-democratic and unprecedented
This is being used as an excuse to create an authoritarian one party state where all political opponents will be purged for the sake of "protecting democracy"

- We ended slavery.
- We gave women the vote.
- We fought the Nazis in WW2.
- We are being discriminated.
- "White privilege" is a racist myth.
- "Male privilege" is a sexist myth.
The far-left attacks us daily.
The media attacks us daily.
Why?
All lives matter.
I don't care if you are white, black, brown or any other skin color.
Everyone should live together in peace.
It is the far-left that is sowing division and polarization.
And before anyone starts taking this tweet out of context.
I am 100% AGAINST white nationalism.
I am also against discrimination of white people.
I am also against discrimination against black people.
All human beings are of equal worth in the eyes of God.
And I'm beginning to suspect that I may have already had the corona virus and recovered.
I was in northern Italy and I had the symptoms.
My family did too.
Please read this whole thread and let me know if you have experienced anything similar👇
1/
I was in northern Italy with my family and in the beginning of January I developed a severe cough.
I have been hospitalized for pneumonia twice in my life before, and the cough I had earlier this year was honestly worse than anything I've had before.
2/
It literally felt like I was coughing my lungs out.
And it lasted until the middle of March.
I also had a bad stomach and diarrhea. And I had fever that came and went for weeks - an intermittent fever.
As far as I know, the flu doesn't give you intermittent fever.
