My one great fear is that Trump doesn't understand just how big a threat Big Tech is. Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter are 100% devoted to ending his presidency and destroying America as we know it, and those first three are the biggest corporations in history. "Monitoring the situation" just isn't going to cut it. Facebook bans you for saying Kyle Rittenhouse isn't a white-supremacist spree-killer, and most people get their news from Facebook. Democracy isn't truly rule by the people; it's rule by the people who decide what the people hear about. These companies should have been targeted with anti-trust laws years ago.

He has “People” that do know. He’s on it.

Yea, that's not happening. They won't even use the legal system to hold people accountable for their provable crimes.

Do you have a list of the things President Trump has done to counter big tech's election interference over the course of his first term? Because, even as a staunch supporter I have seen zero consequences for any of their actions thus far.

Not only that, but it has gotten much worse over the last four years, not better. The censorship has only ramped up and gotten more sinister. I am more frequently shadow banned now, rather than being openly banned, for example. Writing things that no one else can read is demoralizing and should be illegal. If you want to ban me from the service, fine, but let me know you're doing it.

It's like a book publisher continuing to accept your manuscripts and act like they are publishing your books like they always have except they never do, and don't tell you about the change. Thousands or millions of Americans have had the same happen to them I'm sure, and don't even know it.

This is a problem that needs to be solved before it's too late. These big tech companies are growing in size and power every day.

It's already way too late. All we can do is get ready for the worst and pray for the best.

Yes it’s gotten far worse. That’s why we’re all corralled over here where we can’t influence the undecided voters.

How is this different from baseless concern trolling

You flatter yourself enormously if you really believe Trump understands the threat of Big Tech less deeply and less extensively than you, Random Internet Guy

Relax and enjoy the show

Thank you for calling this out. It is not different than baseless concern trolling. Suddenly the site is full of concern trolls who are doubting the President's ability to do his job and attempting to spread doubt among his supporters. They are here to demoralize and should be ignored. We do our part by voting in person and trust President Trump and his team to do the rest.

This isn't concern trolling, this is fear mongering. And right now, I'm okay with a little fear mongering. We should all be afraid of the power of the left's organizational structure. Their ability to distort reality is unmatched in human history. Its quite impressive if you take a step back and look at the whole of it.

Don't be paralyzed by fear but don't be foolhardy and unaware either.

More importantly, we need to remember that fear and division they've created over these last few years when Trump gets re-elected and demand some consequences for all of this.

Something needs to be done about this before election day though.

An EO that forces a temporary internet bill of rights on these bozos will stop them from tampering with the news.

Redacting Section 230 from them at the last second will force them to go full partisian or break down and become balanced again. (Twitter execs would be jailed for all the CP on their site.)

It's critically different from baseless concern trolling. It's the opposite of baseless, it's based.

Some things are worth being concerned about. I'm not suddenly doubting my presidential vote, but I am concerned about big tech's censorship, which is increasing every single day.

You think that the President and his administration are not aware of this?

pedefromohio 2 points ago +2 / -0

But here's what people are trying to say: we don't have enough information to say whether Trump is prepared or not. All we can do is continue to trust in his abilities, based on his past actions of outmaneuvering the idiots from the left, spread knowledge, and have faith (as in, be confident and remain true to your beliefs, don't just hope) that he's 10 steps ahead of us, which I guarantee you he is.

So now any thought that does not match a blind, dogmatic faith is to be banned, or shunned as "concern trolling"?

My, how fast we turn into what we profess to hate.

Well said. Anyone that thinks trump is leaving office of he thinks he won is insane. They'll destroy him and his family.

I'm of the impression that Trump and his administration are fully aware of exactly what they're dealing with. They have access to information and intelligence that we couldn't possibly dream of, and I'm certain that they're as ahead of this as anyone could be.

We've had Trump around long enough that it's actually clear to see where we are based on his mood and behavior. When shit is out of control and they're wrestling with a tough circumstance, it's pretty obvious. Trump deflates a bit, flexes his Twitter muscles impulsively, and can't seem to hide it through his body language. I think most people can agree with that idea. It's usually apparent when they're in the thick of something that they can't get a grip on.

Conversely, when things are smooth sailing in the Trump administration, it's equally as apparent. He's smooth, calm, collected, and dishes out absolutely devastating haymakers at every turn. His tweets slap, his press conferences go smoothly, and he exudes a confidence that has become a tell-tale sign of a "we're in the driver's seat right now" attitude.

Lately, once the Civil unrest became less muddy and the people have begun to woke up with regard to the BS "pandemic" continuing on, I believe we've been witnessing the latter as far as vibes from the administration goes.

They at the very least know exactly what's ahead of them right now, and I'm confident that if they haven't already gotten their ducks in a row, theyre working overtime to ensure that a plan, a contingency, and a contingency to that contingency are in place to guarantee victory in the (likely) case that we win fair and square.

Watch Trump. Watch his body language. Listen to his tone. The dude seems like he hasn't got a worry in the world right now.

There is absolutely a coup being planned. We've already been primed with the idea of Pelosi taking the reigns if the votes need counting. They're trying to push the military to join them with the latest fake news. Im sure they have some high level guys willing to go for it, but the Atlantic story was a push to get soldiers to believe they should follow them. It was a pathetic attempt and likely signaled to them that it ain't happening.

We've fucking got this. The unknown shit storm ahead is frightening as all Hell, but who would you place your bets on? A bunch of soy-laden pussies who can't even be in a crowd with their guns without shooting someone, or an equal number of country-loving patriots who would pay the highest price if it meant securing freedom for future generations?

Apologies for the rant.

A similar thought came to me. I was thinking about how every day I just keep expecting him to drop some kind of hammer on the enemy - mass arrests, a big tech shutdown, anything. Nothing ever happens! But Trump just seems cool as a cucumber lately, as all this election foul play looms.

He knows what they are planning to attempt and he's got ways to deal with them.

I agree 100%. They're running out of options at this point and even normies are waking up - I've seen more red pill posts from staunch democrats in the last 3 months than ever before. The dems know it, but you have to step back and think for a second - they have people like Chuck, Schiff, Pelosi, and AoC running the party. Do you REALLY think they're smart enough to pull something like this off against our team? I just don't see it happening on this scale - the only reason something happened before is because that shitstain Obama let it happen.

No apology needed. Good rant.

I never understood why they went for such a weak story like they did and you are 100% correct in that it was to try to sway the military away from Trump leading up to coup 2.0.

You're looking for logic, instead of realizing it's an ideology. These people DO NOT care about if their businesses make money right now, or can support more employees. To some degree, they are a "late-stage capitalism" problem because they can now see a future in which they become the government or rulers by supplanting democracy.

To be clear, I don't believe that there is such a thing as "late-stage capitalism" in the true natural world. To me, the concept is simply a view and manifestation of communist doctrine invading the spheres of business, legislation, and culture. The entire idea must be fought and must be shown to be an unnecessary state being intentionally created by Marxists who are trying to manifest it. A natural capitalism will allow the smaller companies to be more attractive to the consumer. What we have now is merely crony capitalism.

a Biden presidency will eliminate small business?

Bingo. Bezos doesn’t want Trump disrupting his cheap labor and sources of future growth.

I think the Trump admin supports the NEXT Amazon, the NEXT Facebook. Competition is what works best for the human race.

Globalists want business to be consolidated into the fewest possible mega-corporations so they can be controlled or eventually nationalized.

Nah man, Amazon does hate Trump. Or more specifically Jeff Bezos. He also owns a shifty liberal newspaper.

Its still 2 months to election day. Why play your hand early when your opposition can then plan a countermove, then execute, and have you in the same position?

I feel Trump will pull the rug on section 230 a month out, which will let so many people sue Twitter and Facebook that they'll be tied up defending themselves from clear censorship and election meddling lawsuits and won't be able to actually do those things.
