I mean, does anybody expect Trump was directly going to say, "I want you all to march down and cause enough disruption outside the Capitol - with me, Trump - for the certification to be halted and wavering GOP to concede there's no alternative to me"? 'Cos then no editing would've been necessary!
If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

I can't reply directly to this, had to quote, for starters. Better blocklist moderation somehow (long term sulk), otherwise it's like automating old (pre-X) Twitter's casual divisiveness. Better search, if previous conversations are to be valued. Got to up usage & attractiveness to remain viable.
