My 2 cents.
This should be the norm not the exception. About 40% of Americans identify as conservative. So if just conservatives put their money where there mouth is and boycotted these tech companies that they feel are attacking this countries basic liberties, it will go along way into preventing the tactics these companies seem to feel they are entitled to use.. It may be very hard, but the alternative is .................(read every other post by PA). You take away their money, you take away a lot of their power. There is no other way.
This attack on this country from within right now is relentless. The never let a good crisis go to waste theory has been implemented constantly for the last year and I highly doubt this country will ever be the same re basic freedoms (pre 2020) even if Covid did/does go away.
Look at the election rigged sentiment. I am not claiming it was rigged or not rigged. Haven't followed it that much. I feel that if they had evidence they should have been able to prove it. But these days who knows. But the second the capital was stormed all the momentum for challenging it went out the window(not that Biden wasn't going to be declared president, but at least some of the dissenting voices could have been heard). I must have heard that election fraud was a false (or unsubstantiated) claim by the media 100 times that day. Maybe it is a false claim, but do they really know, or are they just reinforcing in the minds of Americans that it is indeed a false claim every chance they get. It is the way the media is. Not one reporter used the terminology election fraud allegations. They constantly pound their narrative and pound their narrative and pound their narrative. 24 hours a day. The result is you have a completely propagandized public. Now the spin probably (I haven't watched the news since that day but I can only imagine) is if you think the election is rigged you are part of that group that stormed the capital and you are basically treasonous. This is just the way they operate. It is almost comical.
As far as I am concerned if anyone supports any of these tech companies and msm companies that they feel are stepping out of bounds in any way you should just stfu. For example. Conservative talk show hosts have been crying about Twitter a while now, but they have kept their Twitter accounts. Because Twitter has buttered their bread. They have used Parler as an alternative because they don't get censored there but I haven't seen them remove their twitter accounts. They need to take a stronger stance. Sure it will cost them some, but if you really feel strongly about something you pay the price.
