Serious question. Did they find any evidence yet in all the trials and stuff going on that clearly shows intentionally want the capitol riot?

When it happened I saw little clear evidence it was intentional but at the same time based on his behavior and personality I totally would expect it was intentional and somewhere at some point there might have been a record of him saying he wanted it.... If there is any actual evidence I'd love to see it if anyone has any as I havent been following as closely as I should.

so no. just like we should be saying OJ didn't kill anybody.

@wjmaggos when you're uncertain about one claim that doesn't mean the opposite claim is definitely true, and this is a really important concept.

Right now we have broad swaths of the public marching forward with an assumption of guilt that is far from proven, and it's pretty important that we recognize that because otherwise we end up with the same old situation where two different people can't communicate because they can't agree on what is and isn't basic truth.

If there isn't evidence showing that Trump is guilty, as @freemo requested, that doesn't mean he or OJ are definitely innocent.

However, it does mean that the assumptions about guilt are really overblown and hysterical.

This is pretty important right now as serious legal matters are weighing heavily on the public.

@volkris @freemo

figuring out how to think about what's true is harder than it's ever been thanks to the internet and social media, but we're still better off. we just have to up our game. as individuals and institutions. #LiberalValues

I find it pretty easy to debunk. The issue is just that everyone will scream at you that you are wrong. So it only works if you arent easily manipulated by popular opinion.
