And this is the real problem. On his own Trump would have difficulty getting dressed even, but with all these little Santa helpers he can terrorize a nation and the world for his personal pleasures.

@i47i @connynasch @martinlentink @randahl He only regulates over-the-air broadcasts, but I fear Trump wants an FTC - Federal Truth Commission - eventually to regulate everything else too.

@toriver @i47i @connynasch @randahl That's exactly where this will go. With the willing cooperation of the tech-bros.

I mean we had a whole post-WW2 generation of writers warning us how the same fascist process could happen in the West, and that the seeds were already planted.
But the cognitive dissonance shill hits hard. These were supposed to be ”free speech absolutists”
