2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Sure he may have said those things but he still hasn’t incited any violence

That's literally what he is doing by saying those things.

He’s condemning any violence and asking for it to stop.

When ?

I am just going by logic and facts, not by maybes.

It is a fact that communication involves much more than what a basic transcript could make people understand. What you don't say matters as much as what you say. Context matters also. The fact is, he encouraged the radicalisation of his voters. By refusing to acknowledge that the racism (which he took part in) and white supremacy, he encouraged it. Any sane person would have asked them to stop. But he didn't, even when asked to, so his base took it as him supporting them (because there is no way to do so explicitly).

You’ve got the smartest people on the planet in your country

That's true, but only because I'm french :p.

How though? Not one time did he say to do anything violent. He said march in numbers, and show strength. If a bunch of people take that as "STORM THE CAPITOL", that's not his problem. I am looking at his words in quotes and I just don't see it.

He condemned them on Twitter before he got banned believe it or not. This is fact.

French as in not in the US?
