Political Open Thread

Keep political discussion here, and leave the Quarantine Cafe for decompression.

Many on the left are RTing this post — which is from the George Floyd protests in May 31, 2020 https://t.co/VwOgUzWJJt

Trump posted a post which read as followed:

These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!
-- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021

Twitter responded by deleting it and threatening to ban Trump forever:

This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.
— Twitter Safety (@TwitterSafety) January 7, 2021

Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.

I seem to have angered people when I said that Trump should have supported a twitter competitor long ago. I hope people can see my reasoning now.

I know it's hard to quit the media. I certainly can't quit all of it.

But these people are fascists who hate us and wish us harm. It is only rational and prudent to separate from them and support competitor companies to the extent feasible.

Trump is surely signing up for Parler now. But he would have had a much, much bigger impact if he had done so years ago.

I know I'm a Cassandra on this issue, but the tech monopolists are in fact a technofascist cult and they will enslave us all, now within years.

Update: LOL.

Twitter has removed several Erick Erickson tweets that called for police to open fire on the crowd
