> I remember in 2016 the exact opposite people were claiming the election was rigged and the results needed to be overturned.

One difference is Hillary Clinton officially conceded the morning after the election in 2016, meanwhile Trump to this day, a year and a half later, still insists he still won the 2020 election and that it was rigged.

Those people you're referring to in 2016 also didn't storm the Capitol trying to overturn the election results by physical force.

Despite this, I don't think it was the best decision to give Trump a permanent ban on Twitter, and it's probably time to let him back on. Politics is full of people saying really stupid things and denying reality, why single him out.

It only bled other people off the platform and made them seek other platforms, further dividing and segregating people into their echo chambers even more.
