At this point I feel like Twitter is _trying_ to push Trump's buttons. 4 years of not censoring Trump's tweets and now all of a sudden they have an ethical obligation? Which straw broke the camel's back?

You could also say that at this point Trump is _trying_ to push Twitter's buttons to justify basically destroying them

I really don't understand what part of Trump's tweet is "glorifying" violence, can anyone help me out on the rationale?

    "Lets spread outrage to lure poor people to go out in the middle of a pandemic and maybe then we could also justify to shoot down some of them also as a bonus. Either the hate, or the virus, will take them."

    Is this the plan?

    This looks more and more like than if the goal would be moving from saving most people possible to culling people in the undesired groups and focusing in saving people in the correct groups. First targeting the more gullible and vulnerable to make them to try unsafe remedies (that only really ignorant people would fall for), then telling people that masks are useless or harassing people that uses it, and now this.

    Communities are dumb by default, but are composed of smart people. I would love to see Spike Lee, or Whoopi Goldberg, or Michelle Obama, or Jay-Z to ask people to be smarter than that and keep themselves chill, cold thinking and safe. Going out in a rioting mass at this moment only does a favor to racist people. Don't fall for that.

    "when the looting starts, the shooting starts."

    Just read that a few times until you get it through your head.

      Nope, not working for me, not from a politician tasked with the security of the nation.

      Just recently a famous comedian suggested injecting him with an air filled syringe, what did Twitter do there?

      Twitter has gone and lost their minds. Bring on the down votes I guess.
