Donald Trump’s 2016 victory was a shock to much of the country, but Silicon Valley took it especially hard. The progressive bastion of San Francisco had turned tech companies from libertarian idealists into liberal crusaders. The industry as a whole felt complicit in Donald Trump’s rise and was intent on doing everything in its power to suppress his voice and those of his supporters.From the beginning, the tech overlords were plotting how to strike back.In one meeting, Google founder Sergey Brin suggested that “Jigsaw,” a project Google had developed to combat Islamic terror propaganda, could be used to shape the opinions of Trump voters.

In spite of all their deviousness, Trump won in a landslide.
It speaks volumes that Twitter and Facebook routinely ban patriots but are much more accommodating to pedophiles and terrorists..

Five battleground states stopped the counting precisely at the same instant at midnight, as if on cue. And then came on at 4.00 am with Biden in the lead. Who ordered it? We still don't know!

Fakebook's Zuckie and Tweeter's ceo, Rasputin, both look possessed. There is something evil about them. But, for them to orchestrate the take down of a dully elected United States President, instead of just waiting it out and try again during the next election cycle, suggests a new high-tech evil is in play here that uses artificial intelligence to achieve the means to the ends.

Big tech, soros, china and all the democrat politicians, by their silence, conspired to subvert our electoral system. This is resulting in the destruction of American institutions, it's democratic ideals and mores, and harm to American citizens, in general. The result is foisting the corrupt bidens on us, which will make them a hideous family in our presidential history. All these people are low quality human beings.

Let's think about this:
FTA: "For years, the dreamers that built Silicon Valley had prided themselves on the potential of the Internet to become a digital libertarian oasis that offered people a way of opting out of the institutions that had historically sought to control what they thought and did."
Facebook and Twitter were campus larks that grew into mega-enterprises. The founders/creators were pirates. And once they got themselves into the mainstream, they became tycoons - naifs, inexperienced in real world, big league political games. And what are the conservatives demanding today? Government regulation. What's the one thing almost certain to mess up any business? Government regulation. Why aren't they getting their way?
I suspect social media has gotten a deal it cannot refuse from the UNIPARTY. Join the cause or die the death of bureaucratic intervention and regulation...pick your poison. The issue makes for another fundraiser, like abortion, guns, the borders/wall, crime, racism, welfare, and a host of other chestnuts.

Big tech has lost control and WE knew something was up when they censored President Trump's access...and nervous Nancy's congress will do nothing about it because it serves her commie agenda...and she's terrified of the squad....so hope of the government in DC doing anything about breaking it's monopoly up...is futile until conservatives take over Congress in 2022...

One thing is very clear, judging from the reaction...or inaction... of the media, DC Swamp, Supreme Court, RNC, RINO politicians, Globalists and the democrats... President Donald Trump must have scared the living crap out of them. They knew a reelected Trump could be even more dangerous in his second term than his first so they had to act. The great stolen election of 2020 was their response. As the article states look for more of this in the future not less.

One thing should be kept in mind in the dark days ahead: Draconian is ONLY 10%
