Yes he did, just watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBH7ql34Ex0 it's just lies and pushing people to do terrible things.

Trump is currently the most dangerous American alive, he's the most powerful person on the planet spreading lies over lies to his millions of followers.

Was it the

"I know everyone is getting ready to march over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard"

part...?

Or was it the tweets? "Go home with love & in peace."(now deleted) https://www.thetrumparchive.com/

Maybe this one? "am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!"

Or this video telling everyone to they they lost, and to pick up their toys and head home peacefully.

Am I in a media bubble? Where's the smoking gun of him inciting violence and trying to prevent a peaceful transition of power?

As far as I can tell, the only real source calling for violence has been the users on thedonald.win, which has caused the mods to step in and say that they will follow the Presidents call for peace and thus not allow the platform to contain calls for violence (https://thedonald.win/p/11RhAqC6sa/mods-are-compromised/)

Maybe check what the Republicans are saying, for example Bill Barr said:

>“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable. The president’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.”

That’s a logical fallacy if I’ve ever seen one. Bill Barr has his reasons, I’m sure, for saying what he said. That doesn’t mean he’s right.

How is it a logical fallacy to check the opinions of both political parties? The parent asked:

> "Am I in a media bubble?"

Usually helps to check what both sides of the partisan isle are saying to avoid a bubble.

Or maybe the one where he said that he “loves” the violent mob without a single word of condemnation? How is this even a conversation at this point?
