Nope, complaining about America and our freedoms all the time is classic fascism.‘President-elect Donald Trump has selected Andrew Ferguson to be the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission. Ferguson will take over for Lina Khan, who has earned praise from Vice President-elect J.D. Vance for her efforts to fight big tech.
“Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country,” Trump says in a post on Truth Social.
According to a document obtained by Punchbowl News’ Ben Brody, Ferguson’s pitch for the job included intentions to “reverse Lina Khan’s anti-business agenda,” “hold big tech accountable and stop censorship,” and “protect freedom of speech and fight wokeness.” The document also said Ferguson would “fight back against the trans agenda.”’

Until the Trump Court rules otherwise, private social media are at liberty to edit their content as they see fit, to exclude whomever they wish, and to engage in free expression, no matter how ‘woke,’ consistent with the First Amendment right of freedom of association and freedom of the press.
Indeed, freedom of speech concerns solely the relationship between government and those governed, not between or among private persons or private entities, such as social media.
In fact, for government to attempt to stop ‘censorship’ and fight ‘wokeness’ would be in violation of the First Amendment and to deny freedom of speech, not protect it.
Attacking opposition media is classic fascism.
No. You elected a government where being a fox news personality is the only prerequisite for presidential selection for cabinet. Many of his choices have no background in the area they were chose to run. The only factor that affected their choice was that they had praised trump on fox.
Riddle me this chonsie, how is ending censorship, a violation of our First Amendment?‘President-elect Donald Trump has selected Andrew Ferguson to be the next chair of the Federal Trade Commission.

Yeah, I'm sure commanding troops in The Shit and attaining the rank of O-4 (the rank that oversees entire battalions) had absolutely nothing to do with any of it.
Did he oversee an entire battalion? The most notable thing he ever did was spreading right wing propaganda and assuring MAGAs that trump was a god while they were drinking their morning coffee. He was only good enough at that to do it on weekends. Some of trump's choices don't even have that much qualification for the positions he wants to give them.
That is the job usually consummate with the rank.
Which of those uniquely qualifies him for that position? Is any person who also received those commendations qualified for that job?
Hegseth never commanded anything more than an infantry platoon, which is 20 to 50 soldiers, as a junior officer.
it went over your head.
It qualifies him far more than your snotty snob denigration of him, as a nobody whose only accomplishment was being on the teevee.
"Go fuck yourself."
