In reality, the same rules apply to Twitter as for Fox TV and rightwing radio, and in particular for Trump’s own “Real Truth” platform.
Trump himself is absolute dictator of “Real Truth” — he doesn’t have to “take orders” from the RNC or anyone else to block whatever he wants. His managers have banished liberals and independents who criticize him.
This “Twittergate” stuff is really all old news. Twitter today is run by “the richest man in the world” Elon Musk, who openly bragged “We will coup whoever we want!” He can legally “censor” or “exile” any piece of news and anyone he wishes from Twitter today, tomorrow or next year.
Sorry folks, but that is just the way it is … and has been for ages. There is a Constitutional right to “free speech” and protection for a “free press” … for those who can afford to own one.
Today these rules apply to large and small “private platforms” in the new media as well, and probably will remain this way for the foreseeable future, or as long as capitalism exists.
I get it that Trump supporters are pissed off. The Democrats played hardball with them over the Hunter Biden “scandal,” which they expected to use to win a close election. Dems refused to play patsy and let them “make hay” out of this new scandal as they did with Hillary’s stolen emails. Welcome to hardball American politics — your side plays the same game.
Now Trump supporters and Repubs are stuck in the past, and Trump has ruined his “brand” with his manic talk about “terminating” the Constitution. All the hearings Repubs may hold in Congress over Hunter Biden’s laptop and Twitter consulting with the FBI will change nothing, and will amount to little more “Benghazi!” posturing.
Ultimately — although I wish Hunter Biden (and many other relatives of top politicians) could be legally prosecuted for profiting from their names and connections — the reality is at very most the only charges that may stick will be some piddling “tax fraud” violation, and not of Biden himself.
Nobody knows the future for certain, but Repubs will almost certainly now need to get rid of the Trump albatross to win in 2024. “Trumpism without Trump” [DeSantis] may work, but only if the real Trump doesn’t drag his cult followers (and the whole Republican Party) down the drain with him.
As for Trump’s deluded cult followers who actually dream of “terminating” the Constitution, they are already proto-fascists and seditionists. They will be dealt with mercilessly if they act on their fantasies
