I feel like you’re splitting hairs here. You simply assigned a arbitrary technical criteria on what you consider dangerous. I feel any incitement can lead to violence and telling ppl to gather and aggresively harass can lead just as much to joking about punching someone and paying the legal bills. You can’t predict what angry and unhinged ppl would do, and masses of angry and unhinged ppl only amplifies the danger. I mean, what do you think would eventually happen? It’s like saying “go drink 2 liters of vodka and drive at full speed with your eyes closes” and saying “well I didn’t exactly tell him to drive into a dozen pedestrians, did I?”. I don’t buy into the whole “not-as-bad-by-technicality-I-define” logic.

How about Madonna talking about the White House or that actress whose name I can’t recall who held a depatitated head or that actor (was it Shia Lebouf?) who actually assaulted someone (the nazi guy I think)? Or the Rock in SNL “advocating” violence against GoP politicians by essentially brutalizing them (The Rock Obama skit)? Are those ppl Trump+ in scumminess? Did you consider what they said/did far worse? OR did you get a little chuckle or felt good when they said what they said? Be honest now.
