I mean I see the sensibility after reading the article, especially when applied to every other politician and the like. But... Trump is hate... Its all he spews everywhere....
Most of us. Project 2025 will turn the entire nation into a hell hole if it doesn't rip it apart first.
See? It won’t rip the country apart just as long as ‘the left’ let them implement it without putting up a fuss! (sarcasm tag folks)
SO GO VOTE AND NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE!
I was at a Pride event and a long time activist said this (about gay rights and what happened with ‘Roe v. Wade’):
If you take it for granted, they’ll take it away!
Paste this up in elderly neighborhoods with "Trump wants to take your social security away!" in big letters. Thats the shit that scares them the most.
He's just blowing the trumpet to signal the end. A symptom of a diseased system.
Come down to Houston where a relatively mild hurricane has knocked out power for half the city going on nearly a week. This isn't just a Trump thing. The rot goes deep.
Trump is a distraction
hate and lies. trump summed up.
Huh, I took it more as
Trump broke platform rules -> Trump punished with restrictions
Other politicians didn't break rules -> no restrictions
... Fear of public perception and loss of advertising revenue ...
Trump restrictions lifted -> now it's "fair" for Trump to do whatever he likes on Facebook and be treated the same as politicians who don't break platform rules
It only makes sense when optimizing for ad revenue and there we go, I just answered my own question. Let's not pretend this is about actual fairness or objectivity on Facebook's part.
I'm not going to verify, because thats a long fucken time to spend scrolling an app I no longer use, but they claim they never had to use any of the strict repercussions. Do what you will with that. I know its about ads but this same stuff could happen to one of us running off of "Eat the Rich" or some shit. The article also mentions some obligation of posting to Truth Social first.
This doesn't really matter anyways, he started his own social network, he doesn't really want to participate in the social networks he can't control
