It will be interesting..this will divide the country more.

Again, it has to be said...about 1/2 the people voted for Trump...The country is divided.

And they really did not vote for Trump..They voted against the career political class...You know, the "know it alls" that studied to work in government, and tell the rest of us what is good for us...

If anything, it will get people out of their houses and gathering and talking again...So, the Democrats better hope this pandemic lasts forever...

Kamala never incited insurrection against our government. Try again and tell somebody else your little peaceful protest at the Capitol story. The five families who lost loved ones will dispute you. As will those who heard at least three rioters chanting about hanging the VP.

She defended peaceful protests, not violence. Unlike Trump who not only condoned it, but incited it and then praised it when it happened.

I feel that this is like poking a hornets nest as is going to galvanize their militias into taking more action against the government, silicone valley, and snowflakes.

Anyone else worried about this or am is being a little over-dramatic?
Constitution. It's a thing.

Neither Twitter, nor Google are bound by The Constitution here.... in regards to the 1st amendment the OP refers to.

You support violent riots for a year then clutch your pearls about a peaceful protest....with the exception of the security who fired on unarmed protesters. I guess you aren't happy unless you see protesters burning buildings down with people inside them right? Perhaps then they'd have their logo written in the middle of streets across the country.
No one supported violent riots. It was always peaceful protests. Always. There were idiots that started looting and rioting. Those idiots were never part of the movement. They capitalized on the opportunity. Every one of them should be prosecuted.

Likewise for those assclowns who pushed their way into the capitol last Wednesday.

Stop lying.

The protests full of burning and looting and assaulting and murdering that Kama "defended" were not peaceful. They were riots.

Trump did NOT condone, incite or praise anything that happened on Wed.

Kamala Harris said:

Quote:
This is a movement, I’m telling you, they’re not going to stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not going to stop after Election Day," she said. "And everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not."
June 2020

Then when Heels Up got a load of well deserved backlash for it, she changed her tune in August.

Didn't stop her from helping bail out the VIOLENT protestors during the riots.

Stop lying.

No they can't. What about the bakery that didn't want to bake a cake ?

Twitter, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, etc. are capitalistic companies. They make their money from traffic on their platforms.


The 74 million folks who didn't vote for plagiarist Joe should wean themselves off of these platforms.

Don't buy the newest Apple phone. Use DuckDuckGo for searching instead of Google. Buy from third parties (or actually go into a local store) instead of buying from Amazon. Write a letter instead of using Twitter or Facebook.
Do something for yourself.
