Yep.

Expect more anger, resentment, and trouble ahead due to the media.

Nobody is arguing that they're doing something illegal, but does that mean they're not curbing free speech in America?

US Code 230 says otherwise.

Such an uninformed and shitty post. Truly a microcosm of everything wrong in this country. Thanks for your contribution.

No matter how many times you say this, it's still a bastardization of the facts and existing legal precedent in every jurisdiction in this country.

Remind me again what was social media's reaction to the dozens of people killed during the BLM riots?

Only one narrative shall be allowed in the new America.

Anyone how doesn’t agree will be banned.

And some people still wonder “how did they get Germany to allow the Nazis?”

They sure are.
Seems like alot of publishing of like minded views and a whole lot less hosting views.

It is absolutely the truth.

They have been spitting anti-American lies in an attack on democracy and contributed to motivating these people to storm our Capitol in an attempt to subvert our democratic process. Whether or not they would be liable in court is a different matter altogether.

If you're a normal person, then at this point, using Twitter is like asking for a boyfriend that beats you. And then blames you for it.

This crap right here is getting old. There is an effort to purge conservatives and conservative thoughts from society.

I honestly don't know why anyone ever had Twitter to begin with. I've never had it and I'm happier for it.

Yeah, society has grown and moved on but conservatives refuse to adapt so their beliefs will be left behind.

These Twitter bans are something different, but ultimately you are right that society is removing conservatism from our discourse. It's the republican party's fault.

Here is a relevant post:

quote:

By being unwilling to sit at the table with and listen to the grievances of minority groups. America is changing. Everyone else sees it. NASCAR isn't ran by a bunch of gay BLM supporters. Neither is Nike. They are ran by capitalists who have access to the best market research money can buy.

Imagine if the republican party supported immigration reform focused on easier paths to legal immigration? Hispanics are far more likely to be deeply religious and more economically conservative.

What if Republicans actually sat down with the African-American protests groups? Haven't rednecks recognized unfair treatment from police for like ever? Who the frick roots for Smokey or against Bo and Luke? The entire culture of moonshine? You all forget about Blair Mountain already?

What if y'all handled your homophobia issue? Libertarianism even gives you an easy way out by keeping the government out of your business.


You all bitch about the "left's identity politics" while completely ignoring all of these different groups who are bound together by their perceived injustices.

The Republican party as we know it is on the way out. It's only going to get harder for them to win as our country becomes more diverse. They are throwing away the important responsibility of being the voice of economic conservatism away to die on a hill of intolerance.

I agree with the last sentiment that the Republican Party is on the way out. Can crash and burn for all I care. Most of the other posting is drivel and, when combined with most other posts shows a lack of maturity that is alarming
