Of course Trump is still inciting violence. Having not faced repercussions for the events of January 6, he appears to feel empowered.

I'm so old, I remember when Trump told the Proud Boys to 'stand back and stand by' and all the wingnut screech monkeys assured us it was just harmless words and then January 6th happened

I know that I don't get too deep into politics here though most people know where I stand. I've been politically minded since I was about 6 years old, I come from a civic minded family who watched the news, read the papers, and discussed politics regularly. My father was a hard-core Reagan Democrat.
