I think you missed the point.
"Go fight like hell," doesn't necessarily mean inciting an insurrection. It doesn't have to mean, violence. It is a figure of speech.
If you think that, then what about the comedienne who showed a decapitated Trump head on social media.....would we say she's inciting an assassination on the President of the USA? Was that a threat?
This kind of mentality means.......it's dangerous for us to say anything.
We cannot freely voice out our dissent. We cannot give an opposing view. What we say can be twisted and taken out of context.
It is an era so close to how Communists deal with any dissenting voice.
You could find yourself facing unjustified charges, and be penalized for whatever it is "they" consider a "crime."
Trumped-up charges.....no pun intended.
Look how you convicted Kavanaugh with nothing but allegations!
And we thought what happened to Kavanaugh, and all people accused of harassment that happened 10 or 20 years ago - reputations tarnished, or some even lost their jobs WITHOUT ANY TRIAL IN COURT, was bad enough? Obviously, we haven't seen nothing yet.
No, you missed the point. "Go fight like hell" alone doesn't mean violence. In context -which you asked for but don't actually want - it does. Talking to an actual crowd of people known to include right-wing militia type people, telling them their country is being stolen and they need to 'stop the steal', and telling them to march on the capitol where the votes are being counted and prevent the process, is calling for violence.
As people like Michael Cohen have long said about trump, he 'uses code words' to ask for illegal things to try to be able to lie about what he said. In this case, the meaning is clear, since nothing but violence had a chance to prevent the vote counting process as trump asked them to. Just marching to the capitol peacefully would do nothing to 'fight like hell' or stop the certification. Only violence would.
It's eerily similar to the Reichstag fire incident in the German legislature building with finger pointing on the blame Nazis used to create chaos and seize power.
The comedian wasn't talking to a mob with many militia types next to the White House asking them to storm it. If she were, the context would be very different, and she would be more liable for actually suggesting violence to the president. As it is, she obviously was not, but was showing he opinion of trump. Nothing about that threatened any violence to trump, whether you like her opinion or not.
Your saying it's like communist repression that trump actually inciting insurrection is treated as the crime it is is absurd. trump has called for violence and abuse of power for years. His rallies for years have included things like the mobs chanting to lock up trump's political opponents - that is the repression you talk about, threatening to lock up innocent political opponents. That's how communists seized power.
On Kavanaugh - "sorry, ma'am, you didn't have a video camera in your bedroom recording the assault, so we can't do anything." People need to evaluate the credibility of each of the people and determine the truth. And she was extremely credible as even Republicans had to admit. The standard wasn't a criminal conviction, it was trying to find the truth in your opinion. And he did it, and he lied about it.
Look at a few differences between, say, that and the attacks on Bill Clinton alleging he assaulted women. Ford was a very credible, independent witness who very reluctantly came forward, and who experts said looked very much like her story was true.
Clinton had an army of right-wing operatives and lawyers spending years trying to dig up any dirt on him they could, offering bounties all across Arkansas for any dirt, and so there were financial incentives and very partisan motives to lie - and yet, it's still possible he DID do something wrong, but nothing like the credible allegation came forward.
At best, partisan blinders are hugely coloring your viewing of the incidents. A worse possibility is that you are knowingly spreading disinformation just because you're being partisan for your team. The point isn't that Kavanaugh committed assault as a drunk young man; that wouldn't and shouldn't keep him off the bench. The point was that now, he lied about it, showing him unfit to sit on the court.
