Suddenly (and without a hint of hypocrisy) conservatives are embracing the narrative that someone can talk people into inciting violence.

Hard-Left's 'Hitler' rhetoric has deadly consequences

Years of overheated rhetoric against Donald Trump has radicalized the far left into believing he is a threat on the level of Hitler. Now, people have been killed.

I assume you are implying the false narrative that Trump incited people to violence on January 6th.

That's both a yes and a no.
If you had simply said "narrative" without the adjective we'd find common ground.

Donald Trump entered the foray of politics with incendiary rhetoric even before he took a ride down the escalator. It is part and parcel of his delivery and through his repitition it has become normalized. I recall numerous threads on his assertions toward violence (i.e. "punch'em in the face.." and then someone does) that have been dismissed by his supoorters as nothing more than a figure of speech.
It is not merely January 6th. It's who he is and what his supportes have embraced.

here we are, his supporters are making the about face.

Um, this is about the shooter and not those shot. Please make a note of it. I also see two Orthodox arguing with each other in OBOB, which is kind of out there in itself. Please figure THAT out.
