Yeah been hearing that for years. Republicans are very slow on tech issues which is why we're in this situation in the first place. They seem to have no clue how powerful big tech is and that they essentially have control over modern public speech. Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Its not about being slow on tech issues. It's about laizzez faire economics and ayn rand being the intellectual foundation of the contemporary republican party. Paul Ryan was the biggest ayn rand fan in congress, he even once had to give a speech denying he liked ayn rand more than jesus. And then Paul Ryan blocks the wall as speaker of the house. There is a connection. The Koch Brothers are also big laizzez faire idiots.
It's both really. So many boomer Republicans that run the party have no clue what's going on in the tech world. I think even a lot of the laisses faire Repubs would capitulate if they had an understanding of big tech and the censorship issues that will only get worse on the current path.
Good luck finding a Republican to support taking action on any of our ideas. All they want to say is "let the market solve the problem".
