1/ We don't know what the WH Counsel's office is going to vomit out when it comes to this social media executive order, but the idea by many Trump "conservatives" that this is a Good Thing, is I think, ludicrously wrong.

Nothing says "limited government" like putting the...
2/ ...FTC and Commerce Department in the role of policing online speech.

What could EVER go wrong with that? Let me give my Trump fluffer audience a couple mild, not too far-fetched scenarios to contemplate.
3/ In 2028, President Cortez (D-Progville, WA) decides that online anti-abortion speech is unacceptable and deceptive.

Or that no online platform should allow discussion of those terrible guns.

Or that free market capitalism has done enough damage...
4/ ...or that The Federalist or Sturmbart or the Daily Caller represent a clear and present danger for trying to revive the Trump Cult, again?

Are these broadly drawn and lurid scenarios? Sure.

Is Trump teeing this shit up? Yup.

So good job, "conservatives"! Go you!
