Big Socialist Social Media

    President Trump's 2020 campaign was heavily influenced by the ideologically, socialist driven, social media companies, such as Twitter and Facebook.  It is understandable that he is very angry at those companies and wants revenge.  However, many Republicans are appealing to his rage in the wrong way.

First of all, it isn't "Big Tech" that is at fault.  To be precise, it's "Big Socialist Social Media".  To broaden the guilt to the entire technology sector of the economy is like targeting "Big Food" due to an agricultural, e-coli outbreak.  Or, to give another example, it's like targeting "Big Internal Combustion Engine" due to a car company's recall of some auto parts.

Several Republican politicians are taking up the mantle of a crusade against "Big Tech" in Washington.  I have seen footage of otherwise, liberty-friendly Congressmen allude to the parallel between modern day "Big Tech" and how the Anti-Trust laws were wielded against Standard Oil and other business Titans.  How can Conservatives think that voters will perceive them as Capitalists if they follow through on such persecution?

Recently, Trump has begun to get on the right track by investing in his own Big Social Media entity.  This is the way his battle should be fought--with media he ultimately controls, and with the freedom to publish and remove the content and individuals that he sees fit.
