Text analysis shows calls for civil war intensified on the right-leaning social media app Parler as Trump urged his followers to march on the Capitol. In the minute between 12:15 and 12:16 p.m., Trump told the crowd to head to the Capitol and that youll never take back our country with weakness. One minute later, a Parler user wrote: Time to fight. Civil war is upon us. Another wrote: We are going to have a civil war. Get ready!!
On the ground, the sentiment was more tactical. A Parler video that captured Trumps voice saying show strength captures one man in the crowd responding, Invade the Capitol building. Lets take the Capitol, others in the crowd shouted in the video. Take the Capitol right now!
