Absolute fact and a widely reported one.

Much like Reddit bans anyone who shows even a hint of conservatism, 
BlueSky seems to be doing the same. Those legitimately looking for a 
conversation will stick to X and will have to swallow their pride if 
they are bombarding by opposing opinions. However, it's not the opposing 
opinions that bother them; it's the fact that they no longer have the 
power to punish anyone for daring to speak them.

Reddit or a subreddit moderator? The subreddit for this city is filled 
with screaming wokies but I haven't got banned when I've called them out. 
The other subreddits I follow aren't political.

Reddit in general. I've given that shithole a try more than once and 
done everything not to post content which might hint as to my 
conservatism even slightly. Even then, it's not enough for those 
Marxists. I've now given up and won't be back there ever.

For a real laugh check out Bluesky (https://bsky.app/)  which is the current
gathering place for unhinged progressives.
As a constitutional libertarian I prefer more centrist candidates and do not
like far right or left ones.
Sadly during the last several election cycles we have had to choose the candidate
who is the least worse.
That is not a good thing.

Agreed. This year it was either the laughing hyena or the egomanic. I don't 
see a good outcome with the egomanic, but I didn't see good outcome with the 
hyena either. We were screwed either way.

The egomaniac appears to be getting results. Scheinbaum has decided 
sending some troops to secure her border might be a good thing. Meanwhile 
Chucky Schumer and the lefties whine about possible increases in the cost 
of their avocado toast. 

ICE suddenly is doing their job. Illegals are self-deporting. Funding of 
agencies that do nothing for the US is being cut. 

There is nothing radical with these methods. Any president with will could 
have implemented them but backbone is seriously lacking in US 
politicians.

American streets will be safer, business will boom and citizens will be 
proud to be driving American vehicles again. Heck, Trump might make it 
possible to get rid of income tax. If that were to happen, Chris 
Ahlstrom would complain that he has so much money that he doesn't need 
to ask his wife for an allowance anymore.

I like some of the moves Trump is making (especially on the border and 
getting rid of USAID), but he's talking about "forcing" lower oil prices so 
he can lower interest rates... which will decrease inflation... how? 
Inflation is the main economic issue, a big chunk of Americans can't afford 
food, utilities, insurance and rent.

Also Musk is dreaming the same world control dream Klaus Schwab touts, just 
trying to arrive at it from a different direction.

From a Telegram Channel...

    Elon Musk is Klaus 2.0: The False Prophets of the New World Disorder

    Klaus Schwab and Elon Musk: two faces, same coin. One wears the polished 
    veneer of the technocratic overlord with his World Economic Forum 
    buzzwords and Orwellian utopias; the other cosplays as the maverick 
    Ironman, the rogue genius with a an X feed. But strip away the 
    theatrics, and what’s left? Two globalists humming from the same 
    dystopian hymn sheet.

    They sell the illusion of choice. Klaus whispers “You’ll own nothing and 
    be happy,” while Elon tweets about colonizing Mars and neural implants, 
    pretending it’s about human progress. Different packaging, same product: 
    a future where autonomy is an illusion, freedom is programmable, and 
    resistance is of course, futile.

    Self-driving cars? Not about innovation. It’s about control. A world 
    where your movement isn’t a right but a privilege that can be revoked 
    with an algorithm.

    AI and brain chips? Not about unlocking potential, but locking you into 
    a digital cage, where your thoughts are the final frontier of 
    surveillance.

    Elon is just Klaus 2.0, a rebranded globalist for the meme generation. 
    One wears a suit, the other wears irony. But both are architects of a 
    world where you don’t own your data, your mind, or your destiny.

    Don’t be fooled. The real revolution isn’t technological, it’s 
    spiritual. And the greatest act of defiance? Thinking for yourself.

Klaus Schwab vs. Elon Musk...
......

Carbon Tax...

KS: "A carbon tax is crucial to curbing climate change."

EM: "It's high time there was a carbon tax."
......

mRNA ("kill shot") injections...

KS: "3 Tactics to overcome Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy."

EM: "To be clear, I do support vaccines in general and covid vaccines 
specially. The science is unequivocal."
......
 
"Transhumanism"...

KS: "Would you let an employer implant a microchip into your hand? These 
workers have..."

EM: "Creating a nueral lace is the thing that really matters to humanity to 
achieve symbiosis with machines."
......

Universal Basic Income...

KS: "4 reasons cities should embrace Universal Basic Income."

EM: "As a reminder, I'm in favor of universal basic income."
.......

One World Government...

(Klaus Schwab's position is clear. Elon Musk spoke at the WEF on world 
government)...

"In his talk to the WEF, Elon Musk discussed how society needs to work 
together to create some kind of world government. He stated that this would 
be necessary to address the challenges of climate change and artificial 
intelligence."

(Of course Elon Musk conveniently misses the irony that AI server farms are 
huge electricity hogs and therefore would be huge contributors to global 
warming if their climate change bullshit was fact.)

   .....  
   Klaus Schwab wears the villain’s cloak proudly, the architect of the 
   Great Reset and the high priest of technocratic tyranny. But standing 
   right beside him, Elon Musk, the “maverick billionaire,” the supposed 
   rebel, the man-child genius who cosplays as Iron Man while he reads from 
   the same dystopian script.
   
   Musk isn’t fighting the system, he IS the system, or doing a damn good 
   job fooling us. A slick, meme-friendly upgrade of Schwab’s cold 
   bureaucratic dystopia. The velvet glove on the iron fist. They sell you 
   “innovation,” but it’s just new packaging for old chains.

   A carbon tax to control your breath, UBI to control your wallet, vaccines 
   to control your body, neural implants to control your mind, and a 
   one-world government to control it all.

   Elon Musk is Klaus Schwab 2.0, rebranded for the digital age, the 
   ultimate false prophet of a future where freedom is an illusion and 
   resistance is programmed out of existence.

   Don’t fall for the cosplay. The empire just got better at marketing.

Biden deported a lot more than Trump without Trump's deportation theater.

Trump? He put the kibosh on the bipartisan deal for handling immigration.

That's some "nice" leftist spin, Chris!

How many times more illegals did Biden allow to stay?  In fact
transported to various cities?

>Trump? He put the kibosh on the bipartisan deal for handling immigration.

Idiot?  It's already been explained to you that that was silly
political maneuvering before an election.  Just like the Dem's "sudden
realization" that immigration needed to be checked until the election
was over and they could get back to flooding our cities with their
bought and paid-for future voters.

Even Bill Maher admitted that the amount of people allowed to enter the 
United States during Biden's presidency was higher than Bush, Obama and 
Trump. Even if he were to actually deport some, which he didn't, the 
number of illegals in the country only increased. In fact, since COVID, 
there has been _no_ net gain of jobs for American citizens whereas the 
number of jobs created for illegals was spectacular. Whether these 
brain-damaged progressive liberal social democrats want to admit it or 
not, what they're advocating is a new form of serfdom.

Even if they don't vote, they're cheap labour who will allow 
corporations to increase their profits. Americans themselves don't 
benefit in any way from the presence of these illegals, no matter how 
they spin it.

Yeah, but let's see what happens when he tries this bully crap on Putin, Xi 
and BRICS. Saudi Arabia (and OPEC + Russia) has already told him to take a 
hike on his demand for lower oil prices. If we can export oil, why are we 
importing it?

Nobody _moved_ to Twitter, they were already there. They were simply 
banned or shadowbanned for expressing conservative thoughts for years 
and encouraged to move elsewhere. The problem is that every other 
platform was exactly the same way. Enter Gab which promised to respect 
free speech. However, even that wasn't enough for you and your 
tyrannical faggot friends. You did everything to force stores to ban 
their app and scoured the site looking for people to doxx to hurt their 
careers or private lives. _YOU_ are the very monsters you constantly 
complain about.

I meant the liberals moved from X to Bluesky, I did although I didn't
leave X.
