 #Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP

#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.

#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

 After the interview [finally] got underway, users were quick to point out that #Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual [VERY low bar].

“Not a joke here: Trump is really badly slurring his words. This is quite disturbing,” wrote columnist Rex Huppke. “Something is wrong w/him.”

“Trump is slurring in a way I've never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time he's had a conversation w/a fellow human.”

 Boosted a bunch of posts showing the concerted effort to #disempower #FederalAgencies consolidating #power in the #conservative stacked #courts. All in an effort to block #elected #Democrats from protecting the #public rather than the wealthy 1% & #corporations behind the #HeritageFoundation, the #FederalistSociety, & #Project2025.

This is incredibly dangerous for the people.

The ONLY remedy is to elect a #Democrat majority in the #House & the #Senate & a Democrat #President.
