Fuck unifying the country. I don't want to unify with redditor troons etc. -- these people want you dead and all elements of "normal" le trad westervn society destroyed.; they're not to be made peace with.
I agree with this but Trump didn’t do shit for four years. He sat on his ass and let the subhuman abominations burn down America.
Biden isn't going to pick up and champion something Trump so pigheadedly insists on. Trump being for repealing Section 230 is gonna make the Dems wanna keep it.
It’s a chance to destroy more of our freedom and they can claim it’s about muh hate speech. It doesn’t even matter that it’s a Trump is because Democrat voters always do as they’re told.
 
I don't think he's playing 45D underwater backgammon anymore sorry
Trump is doing it for petty reasons. I just see this as an unintended consequence. Even if the Democrats wanted to do it before it will be hard for them to justify it now at least for awhile.
 
To be fair, anyone on either side of the political spectrum with a sizeable Twitter/social media audience should be held accountable for what they post; not censored, but required to back their claims with evidence rather than incendiary soundbites.
Yeah, but Trump's convinced himself he's above such constraints as ”facts”.
 
Am I right in thinking that the only reason he wants to repeal Section 230 is so that Twitter can't put ”this is false” stickers on his tweets when he says that he's the TRUE and HONEST winner of the election?
Actually it seemed like jokes about his use of adult diapers were the ultimate trigger. His threat of vetoing the defense bill came in the wake of twitter noticing his big padded bottom at the tiny desk and the diaperdon hashtag trending. Lol.
 
Thats the key if America goes tits up signs point to maybe we move to a different country where those fredoms exist just like our ancestors.
Short of a failed African state, there aren't many places where you have unmitigated free speech and private ownership of firearms. The Czech Republic is like 80% of current America but good luckk just showing up.
 
This is why old senile men shouldn't be president of the united states

Or allowed to use social media. This all started because Twitter wouldn't let him spread malignant lies like he won the election.
Its one angry old man over the censorship of social media despite them not begging for it not to be repealed i know facebook and Google sites will be fine. Twitter will suffer bad just like all of the small websites. Sad to see this is what will finally take down Alex Jones infowars
I have bad news.

Section 230 modification is reasonably well-liked on both sides of the aisle for different reasons.

On the right, because they think it is used as a shield against accusations of suppression of right-wing voices.

On the left, because they think it is used as a shield against suppressing hate speech.

The only reason some elements of the left, and I use that term loosely to be clear, are even remotely against it is because it's Trump saying it right now. Once Biden starts saying it, then that opposition also falls away.
Summed it up best.

They will not repel Section 230 so there is no point asking for what you can't get.

Newsmax, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Facebook - NOBODY wants that section repelled for the most obvious of reasons - most of them good reasons.

If Trump asked them to repel section 1234567 his base would support it simply because Trump said it is so.

If you repel the act, the ability of the United States with a dictator as President to literally control all news and information becomes the new rule. If you can't touch the Dictator, and you cant report on anything other than what the government wants, you have China and not the United States.

The chances of Section 230 being repelled or rewritten to give it no teeth is so close to zero we might as well ask for the army to wear Santa suits as the uniform.
 
Correction, this all started because they let only one side spread malignant lies (at least until that got noticed).

At least be honest about what actually happened here. This nonsense has been going on for months.
Trump could rape your mother and you'd find a way to bring it back to bitching about the left.
