What to do in the post Trump social media era.

Let’s say you are a public figure. Maybe you are the President of the United States. Maybe your last name is Trump and maybe, just maybe, your most direct line of communication to the American populace, and the world, is your Twitter handle. 

Your mentions and comments section of every post is filled with vitriol, hatred, and threats of violence. Not to mention a few clout chasers hoping to comment under your post and get noticed by a few people that turn into followers. What would you do?

While I can’t tell you what you would do, I can tell you what I, and DJ Trump, would do. Use the available tools to quiet the noise down. The Block and Mute buttons exist for a reason. 

Yet the Honorable Naomi Reice Buchwald did not hold that same belief in May, 2018. 

In part, the ruling states “This case requires us to consider whether a public official may, consistent with the First Amendment, ‘block’ a person from his Twitter account in response to the political views that person has expressed, and whether the analysis differs because that public official is the President of the United States,” writes Buchwald. “The answer to both questions is no.” 

This ruling was unnaminously upheld by a 3 judge panel in 2019, 2nd Circut Court of Appeals.

But what is Joey “The Sleepy Sniffer” Biden to do when HIS inauguration, livestreamed on the official White House YouTube channel, is blasted by negative comments on YouTube? Of course! Disable comments and set the video to private!

But Bear, you angry and disgruntled ball of brown fur, what about that court ruling?

I had the same thought. It’s only a matter of time before some MAGA aficionado files suit. But, wait right there. The 2nd Circut is not the HIGHEST court in the land, and The Sniffer is now in the hot seat. 

Fade into frame, Biden’s DOJ, with Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall saying that the ruling is “Deeply problematic.”

The January 19th, 2021 filing by Wall states, in part, “President Joe Biden, as well as future presidents and government officials, should not be bound by the decision the high court may well have overturned had the question not become moot by Trump completing his term of office.”

Oh really? I say in my best Ace Ventura impersonation. So now that Fragile Ego Joe is the one on the receiving end, it’s an issue we need to remedy? After all, the last year alone has seen Joe call people fat, loser, “Lying dog-faced pony-soldier,” and challenging more than one person to fight out back.

And now we have reports that YouTube is scrubbing down votes on that same video as part of, what they describe as, a normal reduction of frivolous votes.

Whatever they think we hear, normies are waking up to the hypocracy. It’s getting harder to hide the biases, and it’s not like the Enemy (whoever they are today) really know how to ride their hand to the final push. They always seem to let the mask slip on the Flop, and it tends to fall with the Turn (Poker terms, for those unfamiliar).

Well, the normies are the ones that really got Joey elected. Those who aren’t “Up in the know” about MSM narratives and social media bias. The people who just get their news at 9pm every weeknight and what Facebook or Twitter pushes in front of them during the 5 minute lull at work. 

The normies are waking up, and they’re gonna be really (expletive) (expletive).
