this is pro-censorship obviously. trump isn't part of the question. alternate opinions are what are being shut down.

I dont know, I think it might be an 11d chess move to push things so far towards idpol that it forces sane people back to the right. Opinions are being shut down, but to what end? Who is served by stirring up racial tension? Censorship only brings more discussion of a topic, AKA the streisand effect. Trump knows this. So by allowing the censoring of racist talk he actually makes his position stronger to his base of racists.

On the other hand his own supporters and accounts are getting shut down, is he really that willing to sacrifice for the long term? He hasn't shown himself to be so yet. But I can't put anything past the guy at this point.

The timing of this w/r/t the elections is impossible to be coincidence.

George Soros benefits from racial tensions. The media benefits from it as well. The businesses forced to foreclose will benefit banks and insurance companies. The president is always hand picked by the elite. the public vote does not matter as we saw with Trump's election.

The_Donald, WatchRedditDie, and other subs have seen this coming for a long time.

Don't forget, Spez was caught editing users posts from the backend.

The algorithm changes, the quarantine.

It may be generic to say, but i feel like this is the most critical elections in my life. I'm 40, so i have a perspective many on here may not have.

Nah, Americans always think every election is the end of the world.

Joke is they can barely slide a piece of paper between their left and right candidates and get much the same shit no matter who wins.

There is a huge difference between Biden and Trump.
