Free speech or oppression can't really be brought up in this situation, you have absolutely no right to have a facebook, twitter, or instagram account.

Anyone that suggests they're not allowed to make their own decisions about how they run their company is anti-capitalist.
Hell yea! Ive thought it's complete nonsense to be mad at social media, even people demanding their data, you get facebook for a cost, by giving them your data while you use it. DUH.

This is totally true. You can’t brush any of this stuff under the rug, it needs to be pulled out into the sunlight. We have people from both sides of our two major political factions take to the streets to fuck up our cities and institutions. Somewhere along the lines we have obviously fucked up in a big way. This won’t just go away if we silence people.
As much as I agree with this sentament, I wonder if the row is over. And now we've all had a taste of chaos and nobody likes it.

I feel like we're in for at least 4 years of the most boring, order and CSPAN style news cycles like its the late 90's again.

All my neighbors took down their flags yesterday and its been quiet. A lot less police choppers in the air. White rural neighborhood, FL.

Think everyone is knapping off the dopa high they got from TV yesterday.

Pretty sure that the president (Trump) has lost Fox. And a lot of people will not be drinking his particular brand of Fox flavour kool-aid. It's only the day after. Who knows?

But maybe Trump just cemented a democratic base that will basically vote strictly blue.

I vetoed a lot of state laws, stuff this election, essentially voting no on almost everything.

TBH I think the R establishment can use these recent events to cut the chord with Trump and detoxify their brand over the next 2-4 years.

No one has a right to post whatever they want on Facebook. A private website.

Would it surprise you I'm not rejoicing though?

I've grown. I realize this is how civilizations crumble. We take sides and vehemently uppose each other with the most vicious slander and dehumanizing rhetoric. We stop listening.

I can tolerate any opinions that come from respectful people. If I owned a creole restaurant and disagreed with the police outside, if they were polite and civil, I would still want to make sure that they had a good meal.

No.

None of this is what we wanted. It's not a win. We lost Trump. We lost his most fervently violent, vicious and aggressive supporters.

It's a very sad outcome.

Only side im on is the truth, sadly only one party over the last 12 years has been partly truth caring. In no way does that mean I think democracts and liberals are always truthful. I have been a lifetime registered no party, but what i can tell you is that over the last 12 years one party has been nothing but indulged in lies and inflammatory rhetoric. So it makes it pretty easy to vote ill just say that
