I disagree. There is no alternative to trump for them given the Democrat’s extremism post 2008. If they are smart as ypu say, they understand the election is a binary choice with opportunity cpsts.


Well... this might be true, but remember that Trump only barely won in 2016 despite running against a historically toxic and divisive opponent in Clinton. Yes, if the Dems nominate Kamala Harris or someone along those lines, then the logic you mentioned might materialize again. But if they run Biden or Beto, it will be tough for Team Trump to repeat the 2016 playbook without significant adjustments.

another case of antitrust by another group of silicon valley technocrat ideologues

> popular crowdfunding website blatantly goes AGAINST their WRITTEN terms of service to deplatform a pro-free speech, anti political-correctness centrist
> followed up by more lies by the two-faced company as the wave of negative PR spreads, causing even more backlash
> some of the biggest pro-free speech personalities, creators using the crowdfunding website, people giving money on the website - are boycotting the service, causing drop in financial support that reaches creators outside the culture-war bubble to lose revenue in significant ammounts
> people dig to easily find hundreds of occasions where actual TOS violations are unpunished by the company
> the company's psychos double down on going against written rules as backlash continues
> Jordan Peterson & Dave Rubin planning to join forces to create alternative crowdfunding service free from draconian anti-free speech psycho agenda
> meanwhile banned creators flee to already existing alternative crowdfunding website, which then gets deplatformed by PayPal :rofl: , which also affects random creators on it that are unrelated to the drama, more negative PR

since you apparently can read my posts again, how do you reply to me pointing out that the recent tweet has, unlike you suggested, NOT been the only time trump encouraged censorship of critical media, disproving your apologetic 'singular lapse and therefore forgivable / ignorable' narrative:

"this is NOT 'just one stupid tweet'. the acosta incident, using lies and absolutely moronic claims to get rid of an inconvenient journalist comes to mind - trump also made prior tweets suggesting media licences should be 'looked at' for reporting critical about him: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-media/trump-hits-cnn-and-nbc-urges-look-at-their-license-tweet-idUSKCN1LK1Z1

that alongside his coordinated and frequent attacks and attempts to discredit outlets that aren't extremely biased towards him, his 'enemy of the people' and 'fake news' (how ironic coming from the most prolific liar ever to disgrace the office) narratives SHOULD really worry you if you actually value free speech - but i think it's well established that the majority of his devout followers don't..."

even if trump were literally Hitler they'd still treat him in biased fashion.

suggesting otherwise is silly, but we've come to expect that.

a.) trump is shit, but the media treats him unfairly because it's profitable
b.) trump's reaction to being treated like shit is shitty

both a and b can be and are true.
