I am a solid Trump Supporter. I have been to several Trump Rallies. I, personally, did not go to DC - though i wanted to. None of the Trump Rallies that I attended, were like DC, no bad dudes at any of them, instead friendly smiling people). I have been a Rush Limbaugh follower (Proud Ditto Head, Mega Dittos) since 1989. I donated hundreds to Trump, and still want him to pull a rabbit out of the hat, and stick it to the dem cheaters. ONWARD TO MY QUESTION.
I strongly believe in FREE SPEECH (1st Amendment). I have watched "No Safe Spaces" - excellent movie, and both Conservatives and Liberals in the movie strongly support the following statement:
THE SPEECH THAT NEEDS TO BE PROTECED THE MOST, IS THE SPEECH THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH, THE SPEECH THAT YOU DO NOT LIKE.
I agree with that 100% - ^ that the speech that should be protected the most, is that which we strongly disagree. It is easy to show support for Speech that we like.

There is a part of me that says YES. (Twitter, Parler, FB, TDW, etc) needs to allow for that (GATHER FOR VIOLENCEA). If not, then it becomes a SLIPPERY SLOPE - as to WHAT else you do NOT allow. And WHO decides.
Personally, I am 1000% AGAINST VIOLENCE.
Part of my reason is that a close friend from high school (40 years ago), her daughter and son-in-law work for Amazon. This friend is a huge Conservative. But they (she, her daughter, son-in-law) do not condone violence. Therefore, they support Amazon de-platforming Parler. I srtongly disagree with her about Amazon and Parler (as well as Google Play Store, and Apple App Store removing Parler).
Personally, I am 1000% AGAINST VIOLENCE.
And I believe that most (if not all) of the DC Violence was Antifa or Anti-Trump people.
Even the TDW Admin Post today mentions not wanting to have posts for Violence.
Therefore, I am torn. If we agree, and disallow Posts about Violence. Then, we are, in part, forgiving Amazon for removing Parler. (if there is evidence that planning occurred on Parler)
The easiest argument for me, for us, is to conclude that ALL of the violence in DC was Anti-Trumpers. I'm not convinced that there were none (zero) Trump Supporters who would participate in Violence (or did break into the Capital). I want to believe that all the bad characters were Antifa - but what it we are wrong (and some of them ARE Trump Supporters).
Please don't just make condescending remarks. If you don't like my question, then don't post. I AM LOOKING FOR SINCERE RESPONSES.
THANKS.
Concerning the Capitol the biggest tragedy I see is the alarming censorship of it, simply attending it people are listed as terrorists regardless of If they committed acts of violence and doing so makes people afraid to post evidence of what actually went on.
As far as I've heard I can't say for sure it's all true due to all the recent censorship (first amendment is first for a reason) the violence portion of it was instigated by Antifa, though likely had real supporters in there as well, and somehow during the event some Q followers got told to steal Pelosi's hard drive during the chaos and bring it to special forces, combined with videos going around of Antifa training for the event and the "security" opening the doors wide open it was obviously a planned oppression the general Trump supporters had no knowledge of.
I condemn all violence of that event, but many are being persecuted for it that had nothing to do with it
