To the USG, that's incitement—look what happened immediately after.
There aren't 25K troops in DC as I write this because Trump did not incite a coup/insurrection, they are they because he did. The reaction itself is the proof.
You may not think Trump's rally should have had that effect, but at this point, it's moot: it did.
Counterpoint: the attempted coup was gonna happen anyway, regardless of what Trump said.
I'm very weary of a country and a government in which we can be charged with "incitement" or even treason for suggesting to peacefully exercise our 1st amendment rights to dissent against it.
