By now, you’ve heard that Twiter has permanently banned Donald Trump from participating in the behemoth social site. The company said via a tweet that it made the decision “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.” Of course, this action followed Trump’s tweets, then his rhetoric at his ‘stop the steal’ rally that inspired a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol that resulted in death, mayhem, chaos, and destruction. The president of the United States instigated an attack on the government. That’s a lot to unpack, and we’d need a panel of psychiatrists to figure out what the fuck happened.
The news of Trump’s suspension didn’t sit well with the president’s equally narcissistic son, who replied by throwing a temper tantrum on Twitter filled with lies and propaganda. For years now, Donald Trump has fanned the flames of division and discord on Twitter, but that’s come to a glorious end. Not to Donald Trump Jr., though. He’s mad, y’all.
We are living Orwell’s 1984. Free-speech no longer exists in America. It died with big tech, and what’s left is only there for a chosen few.
This is absolute insanity! https://t.co/s2z8ymFsLX

To paraphrase Trump’s son, if another world leader can be a complete shithead, why can’t my father, too?
So the ayatollah, and numerous other dictatorial regimes can have Twitter accounts with no issue despite threatening genocide to entire countries and killing homosexuals etc… but The President of the United States should be permanently suspended.
Mao would be proud.

Trump incited a deadly insurrection, and Twitter wasn’t going to allow another planned armed protest because that would be bad, OK?
“Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021,” Twitter stated.
Trump can always take his rhetoric to Discord. Oh, wait:
Discord has just banned TheDonald server “due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence, plan an armed insurrection in the United States, and spread harmful misinformation related to 2020 U.S. election fraud”, the company says in a new statement

Trump has been de-platformed for trying to incite violence over the very government he presides over. America de-platformed Trump on November 3rd, but like that clingy guy in the 5th grade, he just can’t let go. To confirm that, Trump tweeted using his POTUS account, and Twitter quickly deleted his messages.
