What we are witnessing is the state protecting itself from an upstart that encouraged the people to challenge it. Those of us who are older recognize the footprints of authoritarianism we were warned about in school before the teacher's unions became part of the state.
Propaganda ramparts have been erected in the form of social media and the president's complaints are censored in the name of protecting the people from "dangerous speech" that could "mislead" them. This was a common practice in the former Soviet Union where no one was allowed to print anything critical of the government. Facebook and Twitter are examples of Soviet style censorship right out in the open.
President Trump has been found guilty of "slandering the state" and too many have never been taught actual history because education in the US is a state-partnered entity that has adopted authoritarianism as a means of doing business.
The US president's post on Facebook has also been flagged with a warning that vote counting is still ongoing.
