Symbolism. Do I need to go back and find old posts made on this board about such classic "legitimate" protests as Kathy Griffith with Trump's severed head? Or how about all the times Trump or another Republican have been hung in effigy? What makes one thing political speech and the other your form of a nightmare? Heck, it only takes a second to pull up hundreds of such images on google. Yet, I've NEVER ONCE heard you call for banning anyone who has shared them on social media. Seems to me that the only difference in content you don't have a problem with and that which is terrifying demonstrates a clear need to erase the rights of the people is which team generated it.

I don't troll around on those parts of the internet and am largely off social media. Hanging in effigy has a history, good or bad. I generally wouldn't consider simply those images to be calling for acts of violence. They walk the line and I really have no issue if twitter/youtube/facebook ban people who repost them, particularly if they add violent captions.
I'm more concerned about the information bubbles, of which you think I'm a part of despite not being on any real social media. But largely because I don't believe the things you do about "Hunter Biden's" laptop. Hunter got a cushy job because his dad was vice president. The evidence indicates he committed some tax law violations and potentially some foreign lobbying standards. The DOJ is currently investigating with a grand jury. Maybe he goes to jail. Maybe Biden pardons him. Maybe he gets acquitted. I don't believe the narrative that the laptop was his and contained child porn and the FBI ignored that and said lets go after him for tax evasion instead.
Are you claiming that the Republican administrations in Georgia and Arizona were in deep with the Democrats to rig the election against Trump? Our election has good fraud controls, not perfect fraud controls. States are getting better about auditing standards and verification. They aren't perfect, but they aren't is no way to prove any fraud. See Mark Meadows. See the idiot Republican in Pennsylvania who got caught voting for his dead mother. Clearly there are controls in place that flag this issues and allow them to be detected. Did we catch every individual who double voted? No. Was there potentially some small time ballet harvester out there? Probably. Are the controls and investigations good enough to detect something on the order of 10,000 votes? Yes. So quit equating I no one can verify that 100% of votes are valid with we can say with a very high degree of confidence that 99.99% of votes are valid.
For the BLM lets take it one step farther than the war language. If there was an account that was doxing police officers and making repeated claims that the doxed officers were part of a secret death squad that was running around killing black people. Maybe they mix some real police violence video in with some selectively edited and doctored up. Does that cross the line for you? It does for me. I don't want that community building up to the size of millions the way Alex Jones did. Its dangerous. So do you support taking something like that off twitter and twitter has taken down things on the left that are much milder than that. You just don't hear much about it because none of the absolutely disconnected from reality people on the left rise to reach an audience of millions before they get de-platformed.

The biggest crime is how Republicans spread lies and then encourage people to commit crimes based on those lies. That is something no one has a defense against.
