How about Trump's civil liability for the damage and loss of life?

George's Althouse thread does a good job addressing this.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Sez you.
In any of the riots in the summer, is there a single person you can point about whom it could be said “but for his actions this wouldn’t have happened”.

I'd say Jon is not on board with the unite America thing.
This wouldn’t be something society would do, it would individuals and families harmed as a result of his actions.

Great, now you just need to prove (or at least show) causation by specific speeches (“incitement’s”) to specific losses, just like whoever wants to sue Trump over the Capitol riot has to do in court.
The fact that all the violence that was wreaked on our cities this summer was encouraged by the media and politicians like Soon-to-be-president Harris doesn't strike you as a bit problematic?
Ted Wheeler of Portland encouraged the Antifa violence, trying to join the protest, until he was attacked.
AOC "occupied" Speaker Pelosi's office with a gaggle of protestors. That was cool then, right? Why wasn't she arrested?
And now, you're upset?
That doesn't smack of ignorance, it smacks of hypocrisy.
Jon's argument that it's POTUS is simply a matter of
pricedegree. I just cited two elected officials who encouraged breaking the law, and earlier Harris's explicit call for more violence.I'm not justifying, by any means, what happened in the Capitol. I'm surprised at the outrage, because it was the other tribe.
No, actually, I'm not.

Nope. That’s about criminal liability. A much higher bar.
DON’T let them eat cake.

Good point.
Now, how about Wheeler, et al?
Who has standing to sue?
"Standing" seems to be the, ahem, standard by which cases can be brought to court.

The families of the deceased.
