With votes in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania still being processed, Democratic nominee Joe Biden's defeat of President Donald Trump in the 2020 election is becoming more and more imminent.
As many of Trump's critics expected, the President and his allies are refusing to accept this reality.
On Thursday evening, the President held a press briefing where he falsely insisted that he actually won Pennsylvania if only the "legal" votes were counted, erroneously suggesting that the millions of mail ballots cast for Biden were somehow illegal.
Meanwhile, the President's eldest son—Donald "Don" Trump Jr.—is urging Trump to go to "total war" over the election results.
He fired the call to violence in a Thursday night tweet.
The best thing for America's future is for @realDonaldTrump to go to total war over this election to expose all of the fraud, cheating, dead/no longer in state voters, that has been going on for far too long.
It's time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!

Referring to United States democracy as a "banana republic," Trump Jr. said "total war" would expose all the alleged fraud. No evidence of widespread fraud has been provided by the Trump campaign nor is there any reason to think this evidence exists.
Twitter flagged the Tweet, warning:
"Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process."
The President's son then whined about the fact check.
Twitter is censoring and flagging this of course why would we not want to find out if these things exist? If they don't then we will find nothing and people could maybe regain some faith in the process which doesn't exist now.
Why would they be against finding potential fraud? https://t.co/uJUKMtZ8iZ

People were disturbed by Trump Jr.'s rhetoric and lies.
Absolutely reckless. Donald Trump Jr. calls for “total war over this election" as rates of gun purchases spike. A Trump campaign volunteer I spoke to just bought a new AK47 because, she said, she worries there's an actual civil war coming. https://t.co/GKI9YQ7jg1

Steve Bannon: “hang the bureaucrats"
George Papadopoulos: “heads will roll"
Don Jr: “let's go to total war"
I have Trump voter friends—none of them are talking like this. Frankly they have already accepted a Biden win. These are calls for violence by desperate men who fear jail. pic.twitter.com/VzOCM3slon

between these three events
1. Trump's Call To Arms email blast
2. Don JR calling for total war
3. Steve Bannon calling for Dr. Fauci's and FBI Director Wrey's heads on a pike on the White House lawn
Can we finally call the Trump Administration a threat to American democracy? pic.twitter.com/uRG418qKQ5

Unfortunately, no one on the GOP side of things —at least no one with any clout—has the fortitude to tell Don Jr. to get a grip. “Total war" is beyond reckless. And someone should try and shut it down. https://t.co/lA2rpK0XJQ

this should send a shiver up the spine of every American — “The best thing for America's future is for @realDonaldTrump to go to total war over this election," days Don Jr. pic.twitter.com/KYAdpUAJCK

Don Jr. just called for “total war" over this election. Whether he means war via lawsuits or violent war is besides the point. White supremacists will take this literally. pic.twitter.com/BrbDVmSZ0e

People called for Twitter to not just fact check Trump Jr., but to ban him from the platform for calling for violence to his six million followers.
Hey @TwitterSupport, it's time to ban this person from your platform. https://t.co/SCTWQ9Omna

Hey @Twitter is it OK to call for "total war" or nah https://t.co/ZT0xkJxwoN

The best thing would be for Twitter to ban this account. Good lord. https://t.co/d2C1PinQD2
