Many of them are Trumpers.

The Republicans should thank facebook for diminishing the voice that has been destroying their party from within.
Trump loses Again! (It is kind of fun watching Trump lose so much - he deserves it)
Poor poor pathetic Trump, I think the "you will be tired of winning" phrase will be out of his vocabulary permanently.
Speaking of even more losing. Biden has approval rates that Trump could only dream about. It must be killing him to see Biden doing so well.
Trump loses again!
Trump's statement regarding Facebook's decision is remarkable:
"What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country. Free Speech has been taken away from the President of the United States because the Radical Left Lunatics are afraid of the truth, but the truth will come out anyway, bigger and stronger than ever before. The People of our Country will not stand for it! These corrupt social media companies must pay a political price, and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our Electoral Process."
Facebook and Twitter are private companies so his right to free speech is not being taken away. The "People" includes 85M that are quite pleased with him being banned andTrump is the guy trying to destroy our Electoral Process.

Trump's claim of election fraud is very damaging to our democracy and could trigger violence at polling places in 2024, so the bans by Facebook and Twitter are necessary. If he agrees to stop posting or tweeting about election fraud, I would be agreeable to him being allowed back on. It would have to be zero tolerance: Just one such tweet or post would trigger a resumption of the bans.

For decades I saw the occasional press release or statement from North Korea or Iran or China, and thought, "Can't they hire a native, or at least expert, English speaker for JUST a few bucks to check their scripts before they say such silly, unsophisticated, immature, obviously hyperbolic, embarrassing, etc., etc. things?"
Trump has been reminding me of that for years.......
It also reminds me of a time a few years ago when I naively thought, "Every time he says obviously dishonest stuff, or dumb stuff, or otherwise sounds like a DB 8th grader in the lunch room, that's GOT to chip away a few supporters/voters, RIGHT?" Who FINALLY say, "Come on, R/D politics aside, we can do SO much better than this guy." And those will ADD UP over the days and months and years, RIGHT ??
God, so wrong. Half the country sees either Trump supporters or "Radical Left Lunatics." Says so little about America.

This right here is the essence of living in America.
Why are Republicans such cowards or in their lingo such snowflakes?
Look at the cowards voting out Cheney publicly but secretly supporting her.
Look at the results of the last vote whether to remove Cheney.
"The conference vote was conducted by secret ballot. Perhaps this anonymity saved Cheney: While most members of her party are too scared to stand up to Trump publicly, 145 members voted with her, with 61 against."
Republicans should be ashamed of this degree of cowardice. They don't deserve someone as strong and as honest and as ethical as Liz Cheney.
Republicans deserve Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

Now.....Ivanka and Jared will go through the rest of their days; knowing they worked for the "Most Corrupt President" in our history. They knew in advance how flawed Trump is and they encouraged him !

You Liberals swore that once Trump was out of office and no longer protected being a sitting president that the SDNY was ready to pounce on him. They had years to get their ducks in a row and tax fraud and every other crime you could think of would be unleashed on Trump like a 10-story tall wall of bricks. Alas, Trump is enjoying the sunshine down in Florida. Where are the imminent indictments? I thought the Impending indictments were just a formality. Trump off to Rivers was a certainty. You guys are clowns.
Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell unless he visits Alcatraz. You Liberals batted 0.000 on SDNY indictments. Embarrassing.
But... it's okay to Incite an Insurection?!?

He never incited anyone. He said to march down to the Capitol PEACEFULLY and cheer on your Congressperson. If that is incitement I have a bridge to sell you. Put down MSNBC and CNN and THINK for a change.

So if Trump had conceded the election loss like any other incumbent POTUS in history, 1/6 would have still happened? And why did he take so long to call off the dogs? What about Mr. "Law and Order" telling the rioters he loved them?
