I had to read that multiple times - my first reading was 97% of the time, when users of X called for violence, X chose not to respond to the calls by committing the requested violence.

From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.

Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.

That’s the same threat he’s made to every state, city and institution. Do exactly what I tell you too or I’ll use the power of the federal government (unrestrained by congress or the courts) to crush you. So, what he’s implicitly saying to any mayor.

So there is literally no point to paying attention to what he’s saying - he’s going to do it regardless.

Yeah, so far no stoppers that I've found. I generally like the look but I think as the betas progress they're probably going to dial down some of the transparency - the notifications on my Lock Screen and the control center icons are very hard to read because I have a kind of busy background picture.

But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He's already too powerful for comfort, and it's their job to spy on people like him.

And do what? It was very clear that if Trump got elected he’d take a wrecking ball to the country that we will probably never recover from, at the behest of a hostile foreign leader he’s been openly conspiring with for decades. What exactly did they did to stop him?

I just went to a conference in Hawaii, which is usually a very popular, but half the poster boards were bare. I saw multiple recorded talks because the speakers were denied entry visas, including one of the opening keynote speakers.
