The people cheering this on will not be protected when the mob comes for you. We live in a digital age. If having the wrong opinion means you can get your bank accounts and all Internet presence removed from you, it's not any different than living under a fascist government.

Should I be worried? Probably not since I am not advocating for the violent overthrow of democracy in America.

wikileaks was mainly attacked through denial of access to the financial system.

Would you be ok with Stripe stopping payment to the GOP?

The mob... keep living the hyperbole. One day you’ll realize you are the baddies.

There is a difference between having unpopular opinions and advocating for violently overthrowing our government.

What a surprise...

I've said this before and naturally downvoted by the suddenly zuckerburg loving anti-free speech crowd, but we really need to investigate the "cartel-like" collusion amongst in the tech industry. Expand that to tech + news collusion for a broader scope.

The behavior of the tech industry is far more of a threat to democracy/unity/etc than trump in my humble opinion. I can't believe anyone even supports it at this stage, but that's political partisanship and propaganda for you. Heck you could even call this a soft tech coup...

Edit: Hilarious, a downvote within a second.
