    No one should be banned from equal internet access for any reason. 🤦🤦🤦

    See, this is why I hate DeSantis and the right wing. They crow about freedom of speech from one end and shit crap like this out of the other.

      It’s because they’re lying.

      I’m sure you know that the words that come out of their mouth are worthless because of actions like this but for some reason, millions of people politely accept it.

      They’re never going to admit out loud “We just use freedom of speech to shame people out of deplatforming far-right extremists, we don’t actually believe in it” or “We know the second amendment will never be used to overthrow a tyrant and we fully intend to be tyrants. We support it because it brings in $16 million a year in bribes and gains us millions of supporters who will tolerate literally anything except domestic abusers not having guns”.

      Every abuser has an excuse and it’s never “I just really enjoy abusing people”.
