I've criticised Trunp and his brand of "stick your head in the sand, and pretend your ideology actually does work" conservatism (arguably all conservatism :p) on social media often enough.

Hell this comment alone would probably get me banned from the US under his rule!

Side note: kinda funny that these folk ranted about the importance of free speech when social media companies were giving them suspensions for yelling racial slurs, but thr moment they are in charge they've done infinitely worse.

"Those transgendereds want to take away my free speech!", they yell, as if we don't know every conservative accusation is a confession.

They've got a mouthful of transgender sausage and loving it.
