It's 100% christian evangelicals (bible fundamentalists) that inserted themselves into the republican party after the counter-culture movement of the 60s. They hate freedom and liberty, full stop.

Yup, more activity... Elon never solved the bot problem like he promised, and it's far worse now.

Biden signed a few anti-trust acts into law and also issued executive order 14036 to try to reign in anti-competitive practices. Trump quite literally revoked every one of these within his first month returning to office, calling them "bad for business".

Who is it actually bad for? The consumers. The new religious-linked GOP no longer believes in fairness or holding business accountable for anything, it's "God's will" or something...

Biden passed some of the toughest anti-trust laws in the past 20 years, but Trump repealed them quite literally in the first month he returned to office, calling anti-trust legislation as "bad for business".
